Study Notes
Network Topology
- A network topology refers to the physical and logical arrangement of devices and connections in a computer network.
Star Topology
- Characterized by a central device connected to multiple nodes, resembling a star shape.
- If the central device is damaged, the entire network goes down.
- Commonly used in LANs (Local Area Networks), particularly in home and office networks.
- Main advantage: easy to install, maintain, and troubleshoot.
- Drawback: entire network reliance on the central device.
Ring Topology
- Nodes are connected in a circular configuration, forming a ring.
- Characterized by data transmission in a circular motion, with each node acting as a repeater.
Network Topology Characteristics
- A network topology's characteristics define its structure, functionality, and performance.
