Abstract:

  • Bus Topology
  • Ring Topology
  • Star Topology
    Each topologies have their own strengths and weaknesses.

Bus Topology

Cons: Sending too many packets as fast as possible can take down the network.

It only uses single connection known as backbone cable.

Ring Topology
Ring Topology

It carries data that circulates through each devices

Star Topology
Star Topology

The switch has a one-on-one cabled connection to each devices.

Communication relies passing messages to the switch and the switch itself will be responsible for delivering that message to the correct device.
