Features of topology
next prev What is Topology?Topology defines the structure of the network of how all the components are interconnected to each other. There are two types of topology: physical and logical topology. Show
Physical topology is the geometric representation of all the nodes in a network. Bus Topology
CSMA: It is a media access control used to control the data flow so that data integrity is maintained, i.e., the packets do not get lost. There are two alternative ways of handling the problems that occur when two nodes send the messages simultaneously.
Advantages of Bus topology:
Disadvantages of Bus topology:
Ring Topology

Mesh topology
Where n is the number of nodes that represents the network. Mesh topology is divided into two categories:
Advantages of Mesh topology:Reliable: The mesh topology networks are very reliable as if any link breakdown will not affect the communication between connected computers. Fast Communication: Communication is very fast between the nodes. Easier Reconfiguration: Adding new devices would not disrupt the communication between other devices. Disadvantages of Mesh topology
