Network: Tree Topology

Tree topology, also known as hierarchical topology, is a network configuration that combines characteristics of both star and bus topologies. In a tree topology, devices are organized in a hierarchical structure, with multiple levels of connectivity. It is commonly used in large-scale networks, such as corporate networks and wide area networks (WANs), to efficiently manage […]

Network: Mesh Topology

Mesh topology is a network configuration in which every device is connected directly to every other device in the network. In a mesh network, the term “mesh” describes the intricate web of connections that result from this direct, point-to-point connectivity. Mesh topology offers high redundancy, fault tolerance, and reliability but can be complex and expensive […]

Network: Ring Topology

Ring topology is a network configuration in which each device is connected to exactly two other devices, forming a circular or ring-like structure. Data in a ring topology travels in a unidirectional or bidirectional manner around the ring until it reaches its intended recipient. This topology is less common than star or bus topologies but […]

Network: Star Topology

Star topology is a network configuration in which all devices in the network are connected to a central hub or switch. In a star topology, each device has a direct point-to-point connection to the central hub, and data is transmitted from one device to the central hub, which then forwards the data to the appropriate […]
