DATA COMMUNICATION:
-Transmission of the digital data.
-Exchange of data between a source
and a receiver.

COMMUNICATION NETWORK:
-Group of computer systems and other
computing hardware devices that are
linked through communication channels.
-Facilitates communication and resource
sharing.

 NETWORK TOPOLOGY
The schematic of a network arrangement, connecting various nodes through
lines of communication

BUS TOPOLOGY:
Every work station is connected to a main cable, and is directly connected to
all workstartions.
 RING TOPOLOGY:
Computers are connected to each other in a circular format. Every device will
have 2 neighbors, no more or no less.
 STAR TOPOLOGY:
Devices are connected in a single hub through a cable. Every node has a
dedicated connection to the hub
 MESH TOPOLOGY:
Workstations have point to point connection with each other.
 TREE TOPOLOGY:
It uses two or more star network connected together. Central computer is
connected to main bus which has a star network under it.
 TREE TOPOLOGY:
Combination of two or more different topologies.
