Question

What is topology.How many types of topology are there name and explain them in detial​

Answer 1

Answer:

In networking, topology refers to the layout of a computer network. Topology can be described either physically or logically. Physical topology means the placement of the elements of the network, including the location of the devices or the layout of the cables.

In a computer network, there are mainly six types of physical topology, they are:

Bus Topology.

Ring Topology.

Star Topology.

Mesh Topology.

Tree Topology.

Hybrid Topology

Answer 2

Topology is the arrangement of the elements of a communication network. Network topology can be used to define or describe the arrangement of various types of telecommunication networks, including command and control radio networks, industrial fieldbusses and computer networks.

There are so many types of topology but here some main:-

1. Star topology:A star topology is a topology for a Local Area Network (LAN) in which all nodes are individually connected to a central connection point, like a hub or a switch. A star takes more cable than e.g. a bus, but the benefit is that if a cable fails, only one node will be brought down.
2. Bus topology:A bus topology is a topology for a Local Area Network (LAN) in which all the nodes are connected to a single cable. The cable to which the nodes connect is called a "backbone". If the backbone is broken, the entire segment fails. ... The bus topology is e.g. used by Ethernet networks.
3. Tree topology:Tree Topology is a topology which is having a tree structure in which all the computer are connected like the branches which are connected with the tree. In Computer Network, tree topology is called as a combination of a Bus and Start network topology.
4. Ring topology:In a ring, topology nodes are connected to each other in a ring form. The data travel from one node to another node in the form of a ring.
