• Topology defines the physical or logical
arrangement of links in a network.
• Two or more devices connect to a link
then these two or more links make a
topology.
• The topology of a network is the
geometric representation of the
relationship of the relationship of all the
links and linking devices to each other.
5. MMEESSHH TTOOPPOOLLOOGGYY
• Mesh topologies involve the concept of routes.
• Unlike each of the previous topologies,
messages sent on a mesh network can take any
of several possible paths from source to
destination.
• Some WANs, most notably the Internet, employ
mesh routing.
• A mesh network in which every device connects
to every other is called a full mesh.
6. MMEESSHH TTOOPPOOLLOOGGYY
• This is also known as connected network.
• Every node in LAN is connected to all other
nodes , through a direct cable.
• A fully connected mesh network therefor has
n(n-1)/2 physical channels to link n devices.
• Every devices on the network must have (n-1)
input/output ports to accommodate that many
links.
8. AADDVVAANNTTAAGGEESS
• It has the highest speed of communication
and highest reliability.
• Point to point links make fault identification
and fault isolation easy.
• A mesh topology is robust.If one link become
unuseable,it does not incapaciate the entire
system.
• A mesh topology has privacy or security.
9. DDIISSAADDVVAANNTTAAGGEE
• Main disadvantage of a mesh are related to
the amount of cabling and the numberof I/O
ports needed.
• Since each devices must be connected to
every other device , installation and
reconfiguration are difficult.
• Due to these reasons this topology has the
highest cabling cost.
12. ADVANTAGE
• Easy in installation.
• Uses less cables than mesh , star and other.
DISADVANTAGE
• Difficulty in reconfiguration fault or break in
bus cable stops all transmission
20. ADVANTAGE
• Less expansive
• Easy to install
• Robustness
• Fault identification
• Less cabling
DISADVANTAGE
• If central controller(HUB) fails,entire
network goes down.
21. TTRREEEE TTOOPPOOLLOOGGYY
• A tree topology is a variation of a star.
• As in star , nodes is a tree ree are linked
to a central hub that controls the traffic
to the network.
• In tree every , every computer is not
plugged in to the central hub most of
them are connected to the secondary
hub.
22. TTRREEEE TTOOPPOOLLGGYY
• In this topology , the concept of child and
parent is applied during communication
process.
• A child node node can pass information to
another child node at the same level through
the parent.
• The failure of parent node disables the
communication.
24. AADDVVAANNTTAAGGEESS
• It is more robust in terms of security of
information in comparision to star,bus or ring
topologies.
• It is having the the best security.
• Allow more devices to be attached to a central
hub and therefor increases the distance a signal
can travel between devices.
• The good example of tree topolgy can be seen
in cable tv technology where the main cable
from the main office is divided into main
branches and each branch is divided into
smaller branches and soon.

Topologies remain an important part of
network design theory. You can probably
build a home or small business computer
network without understanding the
difference between a bus design and a
star design, but becoming familiar
with the standard topologies gives you a
better understanding of important
networking concepts like hubs,
broadcasts, and routes.
