what are Network Topologies and how it works in Computer Networks?
Network Topologies and how it works in Computer Networks? Today we will see, network topology. Upon the completion of this session, we will be able to understand, various network topologies like bus, star, ring, mesh, and hybrid. We will also understand what are the advantages and disadvantages of bus, star, ring, mesh, and hybrid topologies. Firstly, we will start with what is a network topology. We have some nodes and we have to arrange these nodes so that we can establish communication among all the nodes. Topology: means the arrangement of nodes of a computer network. Say I have to arrange all these nodes so that I can establish communication among all the nodes. Topology can be viewed as a Layout of a computer network. Topology can be viewed as a physical topology and logical topology. Physical topology: means where I am going to place all these nodes. This is what is Physical topology. Say I can place all these three nodes on the ground floor of m...
