Network Topology

Technology: Networking: Topology

What are the basic type of networking topologies? P2P, Bus, Ring, Star are the basic ones, but there are also mesh and tree topologies.

  • P2P is peer-to-peer networking where all nodes are both clients and servers.
  • Bus networking uses a LAN cable called a bus where all nodes are connected to.
  • Ring networking forms a LAN to connect each node to 2 other nodes to form a closed ring.
  • Star networking forms a LAN where all nodes are directly connected to a central computer.

By the way, Topology is also a subject in Mathematics that is not based on Euclidean Geometry. I almost took Topology as an upperclass course in CSULA, but I took Numerical Analysis instead.
