    Study Notes

    Network Fundamentals

    • A network is a collection of interconnected devices that communicate with each other to share resources and exchange data.

    Network Topologies

    • A fully connected mesh network topology offers the advantage of providing multiple paths for data to travel, ensuring reliable communication and fault tolerance.

    Physical Topologies

    • A tree physical topology is a combination of bus and star topologies, where multiple star networks are connected to a central bus.

    Network Categories

    • Wide Area Networks (WANs) cover a large geographical area, connecting devices over a wide distance, often spanning cities or even countries.

    Network Connections

    • A multipoint connection is a type of connection where more than two specific devices share a single link.
