The physical or logical layout of the cable

and devices that connect the nodes of the network.

BUS Topology
STAR Topology
RING Topology

Another less common types of physical topology is the MESH Topology.

In addition to the size of a network and the data relationship between the nodes and servers.

A BUS Topology network uses one cable.

All the nodes and peripheral device are connected in a series to that cable. A Special device called a Terminator.

The mesh topology is the least used network topology and the most expensive to implement.
The big advantage to this arrangement is that data can never fail to be delivered.
