 Understanding Network Topology
Network topology refers to the arrangement of various components, such as links and nodes, within a computer network. A solid understanding of
different topologies is essential for the effective design, optimization, and troubleshooting of networks, ultimately enhancing their efficiency and
reliability.

 Types of Network Topologies
Network topologies define the arrangement of different elements (links, nodes, etc.) in a computer network. Each topology has its advantages and
challenges, affecting factors like performance, fault tolerance, and maintenance.

Star Topology Bus Topology Ring Topology

All nodes connect to a central hub, Nodes share a single communication line, Nodes form a circular path, data travels in

Mesh Topology Tree Topology

Every node is interconnected with multiple paths, enhancing A hybrid structure combining star and bus features, hierarchical
redundancy and reliability. organization aids scalability.

 Disadvantages of Each Topology
Understanding the downsides of network topologies is crucial for selecting the appropriate architecture for your needs. Below are the
disadvantages associated with each topology type, highlighting potential issues you may face.
