Introduction To Network
Topology:
 Defination:
Network topology refers to the
physical and logical arrangement
of devices in a computer network
 Importance:
Understanding network topology is
crucial for designing ,
implementing , and
troubleshooting computer
networks
Introduction To Network
Topology:
 Types Of Network Topology:
1. Physical
2. Logical
 Physical Topology:
Refers to the physical layout of devices and
cables
 Logical Topology
Refers to the way data flows through the
Major Types Of Topology:

 Bus Topology
 Star Topology
 Ring Topology
 Mesh Topology
 Hybrid Topology
Bus Topology:
 Defination:
Bus topology is a type of
network topology where all
devices are connected to a
single cable or backbone ,
which acts as a
communication medium
 Uses:
 Small networks
 Industrial control systems
Advantages:

 Easy To Install:
Bus topology is simple to setup and
maintain , easy connecting and
disconnecting from the central cable
 Require Less Cable:
One cable need to connect all devices ,
reducing the amount of cable needed
 Cost Effective :
Less hardware and infrastructure to setup
and maintain
Disadvantages:
 Single Point Of Failure:
If the central cable fails , the entire
network is affected , and communication
between devices lost
 Limited Scalability:
It is not suitable for the large networks ,
adding more devices reduce the efficiency
of the system
 Data Transmission Problems
If a device fails or is disconnected , data
transmission problems occur
Star Topology:
 Defination:
 A network configuration
where all devices are
connected to a central
hub or switch , forming
a star shaped structure
Uses:
Home networks
Small business networks
Advantages:

 Easy To Install And Manage


All devices are connected to central hub
 Fault Tolerance
If one device fails , it does not affect the
entire network as each device is connected
independently to the central hub
 Easy To Add Or Remove Devices
Devices can be easily added or
removal from the network
without affecting the entire network
Disadvantages:

 Central Hub Failure:


The entire network is affected and
communication between devices lost
 Costly:
It is more expensive than other
topologies , as it requires central hub
and multiple cables
 Limiting Flexibility:
Adding or removing devices can be
difficult
Ring Topology:
 Defination
It is a type of network topology
where devices are connected in a
circular configuration , and data
travels in one direction around the
ring
 Uses:
 High speed networks
 Fiber optic networks
Advantages:
 High Speed Data
Transfer:
High speed data transfer due
to circular configuration
 Reliability:
It is reliable choice for critical
networks
 Fault Tolerance:
If one device fail network can
still function using other ring
path
Disadvantages

 Installation and maintenance


challenges:
It is difficult to install and maintain due to
its circular configuration
 Single point of failure:
If the ring is broken the entire network is
affected
 Adding or removing devices
difficult:
Devices can be difficult to add or remove
Mesh topology:
 Defination:
It is a type of network
topology where each
device is connected to
every other device
forming the web like
structure
 Uses:
 Wireless networks
 Computer clusters
Advantages

 Maximum redundancy:
It provides most redundant connections ,
ensuring high network availability
 Fast data transfer:
Data can be transmitted through multiple
paths reducing transmission time
 Easy troubleshooting:
With multiple connections , issues can be
easily identified and resolved
Disadvantages
 High Cost:
It requires a large number of cables
and devices , making it expensive
 Complex Installation:
Setting up a mesh topology network
can be challenging due to numerous
connections
 Scalability Limitations:
It can become difficult to manage as
the network grows due to increasing
number of connections
Hybrid Topology
 Defination:
Hybrid topology is a
combination of two or more
different network topologies to
create a network that leverages
the strength of each topology
 Uses:
 Large enterprises with diverse
network requirements
 Network requiring a mix of
star , bus , ring , and mesh
Advantages

 Flexibility:
It allows for the combination of different
topologies to suit specific network needs
 Scalability:
It can support large growing networks
with diverse requirements
 Reliability:
It can provide redundant connections and
backup systems for high reliability
Disadvantages

 Complexity:
It can be difficult to design ,
implement , and manage due to its
complexity
 Cost:
Hybrid topology can be expensive as it
requires a mix of different topologies
and devices
 Compatibility issues:
Ensuring compatibility between
