The layout pattern of the interconnections between devices in a network is called network topology.
There are a number of different types of network topologies, including point-to-point, bus, star, ring, mesh, tree and hybrid.
Network media is the actual path over which an electrical signal travels as it moves from one component to another.

4. Introduction
The layout pattern of the interconnections
between devices in a network is called
network topology.
There are a number of different types of
network topologies, including point-to-
point, bus, star, ring, mesh, tree and
hybrid.
Network media is the actual path over
which an electrical signal travels as it
moves from one component to another.
5. Point-to-Point Topology
The simplest of all the network topologies.
The network consists of a direct link
between two computers.
6. Bus Topology
In this topology nodes are connected to a
single cable, by the help of interface
connectors.
This central cable is the backbone of the
network and is known as the bus.
7. Star Topology
In this topology each device is connected to
a central hub with a point-to-point
connection.
All traffic that traverses the network passes
through the central hub. The hub acts as a
signal repeater.
8. Ring Topology
In ring topology, the computers in the network
are connected in a circular fashion, and the
data travels in one direction.
Each computer is directly connected to the
next computer, forming a single pathway for
signals through the network.
When a device sends data,
it must travel through each
device on the ring until it
reaches its destination with
the help of token
9. Mesh Topology
In a mesh topology, every device has a
dedicated point-to-point link to every other
device.
The term dedicated means that the link
carries traffic only between two devices it
connects.
10. Tree Topology
A tree topology is essentially a combination
of bus topology and star topology.
The nodes of bus topology are replaced with
standalone star topology networks.
11. Hybrid Topology
Hybrid networks use a combination of any
two or more topologies, in such a way
that the resulting network does not exhibit
one of the standard topologies (e.g. bus,
star, ring & etc).
12. Guided Media
Twisted Pair Cable is used for telephone
communications and most modern Ethernet
networks. Two basic types of twisted-pair
cable exist
Unshielded twisted pair (UTP)
Shielded twisted pair (STP)
13. Guided Media
Coaxial cable consists of a hollow outer cylindrical
conductor that surrounds a single inner wire made
of two conducting elements.
Optical fiber is a thin strand of glass that guides
light along its length. First your electrical signal is
transfer in light signal and ten transmitted.

15. Un-Guided Media
Unguided media means wireless media need no
medium to transmit signal.
Wireless communication uses radio frequencies
(RF) or infrared (IR) waves to transmit data
between devices on a LAN.
For wireless LANs, a key component is the wireless
hub, or access point, used for signal distribution.
Wireless frequencies range from 3 kilohertz (kHz) to
300 gigahertz (GHz).
The data-transmission rates range from 9 kilobits
per second (kbps) to as high as 54 Mbps.
