The document presents an overview of network topology as part of a computer fundamentals course at Dhaka International University. It details various types of topologies, including ring, bus, star, tree, and mesh, highlighting their advantages and disadvantages. Additionally, it discusses the learning experience of students and the resources used during their research on the topic.

5. Network Satellite Link
DEFINATION
TOPOLOGY DEFINES THE STRUCTURE OF THE NETWORK OF HOW ALL THE COMPONENTS ARE INTERCONNECTED TO EACH OTHER.
In other words topology is a physical arrangement of the combination of connecting computers
in a network.

6. TYPES OF TOPOLOGY
Ring topology
Bus topology
Star topology
Tree and Mesh topology

7. RING TOPOLOGY
 ADVANTAGES
1. Suitable for short cables.
2. Good for optical fibres.
 DISADVANTAGES
1. The access protocol can be affected.
2. Network configuration is difficult.
In a ring topology, devices are connected in a circular manner,
where each device is connected to exactly two other devices,
forming a closed loop. Data travels in one direction around the
ring, passing through each device until it reaches its destination.
While this setup is efficient for data transmission, a single break in
the ring can disrupt the entire network.

8. BUS TOPOLOGY
 ADVANTAGES
1. Short cable length.
2. Simple wiring
3. Easy to use.
 DISADVANTAGES
1. Fault identification is hard.
2. Isolating network issue is hard.
In a bus topology, all devices are connected to a
single central cable called the bus. It's allowing
devices to communicate by sending data along the
same line. However, if there's a problem with the
main cable, the entire network can be affected.

9. STAR TOPOLOGY
 ADVANTAGES
1. Identifying faults is easier.
2. Isolating issue is easy.
 DISADVANTAGES
1. The cable length is long.
2. The expansion is difficult.
In a star topology, all devices are connected to a central hub
or switch. This setup simplifies troubleshooting and makes it
easy to add or remove devices, but if the central hub fails,
the connected devices lose communication.

10. TREE TOPOLOGY
 ADVANTAGES
1. Its easy to expand.
2. Fault isolation is easier.
 DISADVANTAGES
1. Dependent on the root.
2. The installation process is difficult.
Tree topology is like a combination of bus and star topologies. It
has a main cable with branches connecting to smaller sub-
networks. This structure allows for expansion and organization,
but if the main trunk fails, it can disrupt the entire network.

11. MESH TOPOLOGY
 ADVANTAGES
1. Computers are interconnected.
2. The internet is an example.
 DISADVANTAGES
1. Its costly.
2. The efficiency is not 100%.
In a mesh topology, every device is connected to every
other device in the network. It's like a web of
interconnected devices, providing multiple paths for data
to travel. This redundancy ensures reliability and fault
tolerance, but it can be expensive to set up and maintain
due to the numerous connections.

12. DISCUSSION
Following the completion of the topology presentation slide. we acquired knowledge about
numerous topological kinds as well as presentation slide creation. We have used Google and
YouTube to help us tackle a number of challenges that have been encountered. In addition to
being essential for numerous step a student of CSE department must take. topology may serve as
a reminder of the architecture and foundation of computers.
The teacher of our course made all effort to aid us in comprehending the content, which may be
beneficial to individuals in all walks of life.
