What's a network topology?

Network topology is the pattern of connection in designing computer network. There are different types of network topologies.They are,

1. Star Toplogy

This is commonly used design and built by centralizing a switch/ hub and computers. 

2. Bus Topology

Here, all the connections are established through a main cable. This cable is called the backbone because any issue with the network affects all the computers in the network. This design is easy in networking and fewer cables are required. However, a limited no. of computers can be connected.

3. Ring Topology

Here computes are positioned in a ring/bangle and connected through cables. Data or Information move in a circular manner. The breakdown of one computer or cable lead to the breakdown of the entire network.
