Types of Network Topology

Added: 2026-05-28

Network topology refers to the physical or logical arrangement of devices in a computer network, with common types including bus topology (linear arrangement with shared communication channel), star topology (central hub connecting all devices), ring topology (circular arrangement with data flowing in one direction), mesh topology (multiple interconnected paths between devices), and hybrid topology (combination of multiple topology types), each offering distinct advantages in terms of reliability, scalability, and fault tolerance for network design and management.
