This document discusses different network topologies including bus, star, ring, mesh, and hybrid topologies. It provides advantages and disadvantages of each topology. Bus topology has limited cable length and number of devices but is inexpensive. Star topology is easy to install but requires more cable. Ring topology provides equal access but is dependent on the connecting wire. Mesh topology can withstand high traffic but has high redundancy and cost. Hybrid topology is reliable and flexible but difficult to install. The document concludes by noting each topology has advantages and disadvantages and all can fail if the server has problems.

4. Network Topologies
Ring Topology

5. BUS TOPOLOGY
Entire network shuts down if there is a
break in the main cable.
This topology has limited cable length
& number of platforms/stations. Difficult
to identify the problem if the entire
network shuts down.
No Privacy.
Advantages Disadvantages
Easy to connect a computer or peripheral to a
linear bus.
Requires less cable.
Less Cost.
Linear Bus network is mostly used in small
networks. Good for LAN.

6. STAR TOPOLOGY
Advantages Disadvantages
Easy to install and wire.
No disruptions to the network when
connecting or removing devices.
Easy to detect faults and to remove parts.
Alternative is there to change the ports
Requires more cable.
If it fails whole network goes down.
More cost.

7. RING Topology
Advantages Disadvantages
Here is no need for network server to
control the connectivity between
workstations.
Additional components do not affect the
performance of network.
Each computer has equal access to
resources.
Network is highly dependent on the wire
which connects different components.
It is difficult to troubleshoot the ring.
Total dependence upon the one cable.

8. MESH TOPOLOGY
Advantages Disadvantages
Data can be transmitted from
different devices simultaneously.
This topology can withstand high
traffic.
Even if one of the components
fails there is always an alternative
present.
Provides security and privacy.
There are high chances of
redundancy in many of the
network connections.
Overall cost of this network is
way too high as compared to other
network topologies.
Set-up and maintenance of this
topology is very difficult.
It is costly/expensive.

9. HYBRID TOPOLOGY
Advantages
Disadvantages
Reliable.
Flexible.
Scalable.
Difficulty to install.
This has Very large architecture.
MAU (multi-station access unit)

10. Applications Of Topologies
BUS Topology :
 Most Computers in Mother Board.
STAR Topology :
 High Speed Network.
RING Topology :
Ring Topology Used in Colleges, Schools & Office Building.
MESH Topology :
 Used Telephone Offices.
 Wide Area Net Works.

11. Conclusion
The Network of Topology differs form place to
place. But how ever, all of them have their advantages &
Distavanges. If the server Problem occurs or Server gets
down, Then topology faces its failure.
