Topology: (Computer Network Code:SMCA62)

This document discusses different network topologies. It describes bus, star, ring, mesh, and tree topologies. For each topology, it provides details on the structure and connections between nodes as well as advantages and disadvantages. It explains that topology refers to the geometric arrangement of nodes in a network.

• Network
• Types of Network
• LAN
• MAN
• WAN
Topology
• Geometrical arrangements of nodes

• Types
 BUS
 STAR
 RING

 MESH
 TREE
BUS TOPOLOGY
• Nodes are connected to a single
communication channel
• Time shared bus
 Only one pair of nodes to establish
communication at a time
• Efficient and reliable
• Example
 CSMA / CD
 Token Bus
Structure of BUS Network
• Ability to connect any number of nodes
• Easy to add and remove
• Easy to maintain
Star Topology
• Connected to the central HUB
• Dedicated point to point link
• Server provides connectivity for all nodes
• If the server fails, entire network fails
• Easy implementation
• Centralized control
Structure of STAR network
RING Topology
• Connected in the form of closed loop
• Unidirectional and Bidirectional
• Pros
 Shot cable length
 Suitable for OFC
 Flexibility to add new nodes
• Cons
 Single node failure leads to network failure
 Difficulty in diagnosing faults
 Non adaptability to structural changes
Structure of RING network
MESH Topology
• Exclusive point to point link
• More than one path for data
• Useful when frequent data sent from a node
• Excessive amount of bandwidth
• Inherent fault tolerance
Structure of Mesh Network
TREE Topology
• Another form of BUS topology
• Connected in hierarchical form
• Parent Child relationship
• Root node is powerful
• Ease of expansion, Identification
• Isolation of faulty nodes
• Cons
 Highly dependent on the root node
