WHAT IS A NETWORK TOPOLOGY? The number in whichnodes are linked in a computer network A pure form of these basic topologies is seldom found in practice.
TYPES OF CLIENT - Dumbterminals - Thin client - Fat client
BUS TOPOLOGY Severalnode, single cable P2P, every PC actsas server for the others+ fault tollerance -limitedscalability+ high-speed -collisions + cheap -difficulttroubleshooting
RING TOPOLOGY Token (uniquegrouping of bits) passingmethod - Cable fault shuts down all the network - Onehost a time can sendmessages + no collisions+ high-scalability + wide bandwidth
STAR TOPOLOGY A server to each all computers are connected. Virtual point-to-pointcommunication - Probability of collision - Difficulty in installation - expensive - No P2P communication + full duplex+ high scalability
