OSI Layer 1 Topology
Topologies • Basic physical topologies: • Bus • Mesh • Star • Ring • Hybrid
Topologies Tamara Dean: Network+ Guide to Networks
Physical Bus Topology • Traditionally Thinnet or Thicknet coaxial cable • Signal propagates in both directions from the point of origin • Requires 50-ohm termination transistors to prevent signal bounce • Good • Least amount of cabling - inexpensive to set up • Bad • Only one communication channel, thus every node shares the bus's total capacity - network performance degrades as nodes are added • Rarely practical for networks with more than a dozen nodes • Highly susceptible to single element failure http://www.houseofhum.com/stephen/library/network_primer/toc.html

Hub vs. Switch • Hub • Only one transmission at a time • Single collision domain • Packet is sent to all ports • Switch • Simultaneous transmissions without collisions • Creates multiple collision domains • Packet is sent to a single port http://cc.concord.edu/Networking/networking.htm

Physical Topology ≡ Logical Topology ? • Physical Topology • Physical pattern formed by physical layout of media and connectivity devices • Logical Topology • Pattern formed by the flow of data packets, how data flows from device to device • Consider a physical star / logical ring configuration
