WHAT IS TOPOLOGY
Physical and logical network layout of the network is called
topology
PHYSICAL TOPOLOGY
- Actual layout of the computer cables and other network
devices
LOGICAL TOPOLOGY -
The way in which the network appears to the device that
use it.
NETWORK TOPOLOGIES
Network topologies are categorised into the
following basic types:
- Bus topology
- Ring topology
- Star topology
- tree topology
- Mesh topology

BUS TOPOLOGY
BUS TOPOLOGY
A Bus topology is a type of network setup where each
computer and network devices are connected to a single
cable or backbone
A Bus topology is multipoint.
ADVANTAGES OF BUS TOPOLOGY
Easy to connect a computer or peripheral to a linear bus
Requires less cable length than a star topology
It works well for small networks
DISADVANTAGES OF BUS TOPOLOGY
Entire network shuts down if there is a break in the main cable
Terminators are required at both ends of the backbone cable
Difficult to identify the problem if the entire network shuts
down
It is slow when more devices are added into the network
If a main cable is damaged then network will fail or be spilt
into two networks
APPLICATION OF BUS TOPOLOGY
Used for broadcasting the message
Most Computer Motherboards
Used in LAN
STAR TOPOLOGY
STAR TOPOLOGY
All the components of network are connected to the central
device called “hub” which maybe a hub, a switch or a
router.
There is no direct traffic between devices.
He switch is the server and the peripherals are the clients.
The star topology reduces the damage caused by line failure
by connecting all the systems o a central node.
ADVANTAGES OF STAR TOPOLOGY
Better performance
Performance of the network is dependent on the capacity of the central hub.
Easy to connect new nodes or devices.
In star topology new nodes can be added easily without affecting rest of the
network.
Components can also be removed easily
Centralised management. It helps in monitoring the network.
Failure of one node or link doesn’t affect the rest of the network.
Easy to detect the failure and troubleshoot it.
DISADVANTAGES OF STAR TOPOLOGY
Too much dependency on central device has its own drawbacks
If hub fails whole network goes down.
The use of hub, a router or a switch as central device increases the
overall cost of the network
Performance and the no. of nodes which can be added in such
topology is depended on capacity of central device
APPLICATION OF STAR TOPOLOGY
Star topology is used in local area network. (LAN)
High speed LAN often use Star topology.
RING TOPOLOGY
RING TOPOLOGY
Devices are connected to each other in a circular Shape.
Each packet is sent around the ring until it reaches its final
destination.
Data travels from node to node, with each node along the
way handling every packet.
ADVANTAGES OF RING TOPOLOGY
Ring topology is very organised.
Each node gets to send the data when it receives an empty token.
This helps to reduce chances of collision.
All the traffic flows in only one direction in a high speed.
Better performance than bus topology.
Here is no need for network server to control the connectivity between
workstations
Additional components do not affect the performance of network
Each computer as equal access to resources.
DISADVANTAGES OF RING TOPOLOGY
One broken workstation can Create problem for the entire
network.
Moving, adding and changing the device can affect the
network.
Communication delay id directly proportional to number of
nodes in the network.
Bandwidth is shared on all linked devices.
More difficult to configure than star.
APPLICATION OF RING TOPOLOGY
Ring topology is often found in office buildings.
Also in Schools for networking.
Today high speed LAN made this topology less popular
MESH TOPOLOGY
MESH TOPOLOGY
A mesh network is a network topology in which each node
(called a mesh node) relays data on the network.
All nodes cooperate in the distribution of data in the
network.
A mesh network can be designed using a flooding technique
or a routing technique.
ADVANTAGE OF MESH TOPOLOGY
Data can be transferred from different devices simultaneously.
This topology can withstand high traffic.
If one of the components fails there is always an alternative
present.
Data transfer doesn’t get affected.
Expansion and modification in topology can be done without
disrupting other nodes.
DISADVANTAGES OF MESH TOPOLOGY
There are high chances of redundancy in many of the
network connections.
Overall cost of this topology is way too high than other
network topologies.
Set-up and maintainance of this topology is very difficult .
APPLICATION OF
MESH TOPOLOGY
Telephone regional office.
Wide area network
TREE TOPOLOGY
TREE TOPOLOGY
Tree topology integrates the characteristics of star and bus
topology.
The number of stars networks are connected using a Bus.
Main cable seems like a main stem of a tree, and other star
networks as the branches.
It is called expanded star topology.
Ethernet topology is commonly used in this type of
topology
ADVANTAGES OF TREE TOPOLOGY
Expansion of network s possible and easy.
Divide the whole network into segments (star networks),
which can be easily managed and maintained.
Error detection and correction is easy.
Each segment is provided with dedicated point-to-point
wiring to the central hub.
If one segment is damaged, other segments are not affected.
DISADVANTAGES OF TREE TOPOLOGY
Because of its basic structure, tree topology, relies heavily
on the main bus cable, if it breaks whole network is
crippled.
As more as more nodes and segments are added, the
maintenance becomes difficult.
Scalability of the network depends on the type of cable.
CONCLUSION
Understanding the different topologies and networks
available will allow any business or individual to determine
the network that will best suit the business or individual
needs and will help to establish the correct expectation.
Knowing what budget constraints exits for the business as
well as the physical constraints of where the network is be
located will help the stakeholders make the correct
decisions on which topology and network would be
beneficial to them.
