Network Topology

Network topology refers to the physical and logical arrangement of devices and connections within a network.

Physical Topology

Physical topology refers to the physical arrangement of devices and connections within a network, such as the layout of cables and devices.
In the OSI model, a network's physical topology is a concern of the Physical Layer (Layer 1).

Logical Topology

A logical topology characteristic is the flow of data between devices, which can be different from the physical layout of the network.
An example of a logical topology is a bus topology, where all devices connect to a single cable.

LAN Topology

An example of a physical topology found in LANs is a star topology, where all devices connect to a central device, such as a switch or hub.

Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are also known as the Global Goals.
SDG 6 focuses on ensuring access to clean water and sanitation for all.
The SDGs were created in 2015, replacing the Millennium Development Goals in the global development framework.
The primary focus of the SDGs is to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure peace and prosperity for all.
