Network Topologies

Posted 3:05 AM by Sobia in Labels: , , ,
There are different layouts of computer networks. The topological structure of a network, either physical or logical is known as network topology. 

Network topologies are basically divided into the following:
  • Physical topologies
  • Logical topologies
Physical topology is referred to the way a network's different components, devices cables are placed or installed. Logical topology refers to the data flows within a network, regardless of its physical design. Logical topologies are often closely associated with Media Access Control methods and protocols.

There are eight basic physical layouts of networks:
  • Point-to-point
  • Bus
  • Star
  • Ring or circular
  • Mesh
  • Tree
  • Hybrid
  • Daisy chain
