The document discusses different network topologies. It defines topology as the style of network connection based on the layout. The main types discussed are physical topologies like bus, ring, star, mesh and tree and logical topologies. Each physical topology is defined along with its advantages and disadvantages. Bus topology is suitable for small networks but if one node fails, the whole network fails. Ring topology has better performance than bus but one node failure stops the process. Star topology uses a combination of ring and star with security and internal communication benefits but high installation costs. Mesh provides many-to-many connectivity and eliminates traffic but is difficult to install and hardware is costly. Tree topology supports large organizations but installation and maintenance are difficult.

1. Network
topology

2. What is topology?
Topology is a style of
network connection based
on the style of network

3. They are basically divided into two
methods
 Physical topology
 Logical topology

4. The different types of physical topology
are
 Bus topology
 Ring topology
 Star topology
 Mesh topology
 Tree topology

5. A style of network used in a
limited area to connect set of
systems .
Each system acts as a work
station to transfer the data

6. BUS TOPOLOGY

7. Bus topology
Advantages Disadvantages
 Easy to connect
 Minimum cost of
installation
 Suitable for small
network
 Used to connect 5 to
8 systems only
 If one node fails the
whole network will
shutdown
 Low security

8. Ring topology
Type of network connection used
to connect multiple client pc.
Each node is interconnect with
more than one system.

10. advantages
 Implemented with
centralized storage
 Easy to install
 Better performance
compared to bus
topology
disadvantages
 Failure of single node
stops the process of
network.
 Network is highly
dependent on the
wireless of network.
 Used for token ring
process

11. Star topology
A style of physical connection of a
network with the help of HUB AND
SWITCh
This type of topology is a combination
of ring and star connectivity where the
internal connectivity is available under
server connection

13. Advantages
 Client server
architecture
 Security
 Internal
communication
between network node
disadvantages
Instalation and
implementation
is very high

14. Mesh topology
 A style of connection which is used to
transfer the data for all the systems based on
multiple.
 This is divided in multiple forms as
 One to many
 Many to many
 Partial mesh
 Fully mesh

16. advantages
 Possible to transfer
the data from one
node to many nodes at
a same time
 Eliminates traffic
problem
 Very high in security
disadvantages
 Installation is
difficult
 Hardware
requirement is costly

17. Tree topology
A topology or a style of
connection which is merched
with multiple network style .
The base of the connection is
formed by bus topology.

19. advantages
 Supported for large
organizations.
 Inter connection
between each node
and connection.
 Less amount of failure.
disadvantages
 Instalation and
implementation is very
hard.
 Maintenance becomes
difficult.
