The document discusses different network topologies including mesh, star, tree, bus, ring, and hybrid. A mesh topology connects all nodes to each other in a point-to-point configuration. A star topology connects all nodes to a central hub device. A tree topology connects nodes in a hierarchical structure similar to a bus topology with a star configuration. A ring topology connects all nodes to each other in a circular configuration but if one node fails the whole network fails. A hybrid topology combines elements of different topologies to meet the requirements of dividing large amounts of work between departments.

6. > It is categorized as multipoint.
> It consist of the back bone to which all the
nodes are connected
> Its main advantage is that , any message can
be conveyed to all usingsingle link.
> If there is a failure in any of the link then it
doesnot concer with other nodes

8. • >Star topology is arrangement of all nodes
connected to a single controlling device
• Known as hub.
• > as many nodes can connected in this
topology depending upon the number of
• Available port
• >if a single node is blown there is no effect
of it on other

10. • >Ring topology is arrangement of all nodes
connected to each other in circular
manner, as shown in figure.
• >its size depends on number of nodes.
• >if a single node is blown whole
arrangement is disturbed.

12. • >Tree topology is arrangement of all nodes
,as a mixture of bus topology as well as star
topology, as shown in figure.
• >It is in a hierarchical structure so as it is
called as tree topology.
• >if a single node is blown ,there is no effect
on other.

14. • >Hybrid topology is arrangement of all
topologies connected or linked to each
other, as shown in figure.
• >It is in a hierarchical structure so it can
be categorized easily.
• >Large amount of the work can be divided
and different departments can linked
depending upon ther topological
requirement.
