slide1. TOPOLOGY in computer networking<br>
slide2. What is topology in computer networking? A network topology is the physical and logical arrangement of nodes and connections in a network.
Nodes usually include devices such as switches, routers and software with switch and router features. Network topologies are often represented as a graph.<br>
slide3. Types of Network topologies Network topologies are categorized as either a physical network topology and logical network topology
Physical network topology The physical topology of a network is the physical layout of the nodes and connections.
logical network topology Logical network topologies define how a network is set up, including which nodes connect and how, as well as the pattern of data transfers.<br>
slide5. Bus topology In the bus network topology, every node is connected in series along a single cable. This arrangement is found today primarily in cable broadband distribution networks.<br>
slide6. Star topology In the star network topology, a central device connects to all other nodes through a central hub.<br>
slide7. Ring topology In the ring network topology, the nodes are connected in a closed-loop configuration. Some rings pass data in one direction only, while others are capable of transmission in both directions.<br>
slide8. Tree toplogy The tree network topology consists of one root node, and all other nodes are connected in a hierarchy. The topology itself is connected in a star configuration.<br>
slide9. Hybrid topology The hybrid network topology is any combination of two or more topologies.<br>
slide10. Conclusion Network topology plays a major role in how a network functions. Namely, the topology has a direct effect on network functionality. Choosing the right topology can help increase performance, as a properly chosen and maintained network topology increases energy efficiency and data transfer rates.<br>
