Question

Write a short explanation (not more than two to three sentences) for each network structure:

▪Physical versus logical topology

▪Bus topology

▪Star topology

▪Ring topology

▪Mesh topology

Answer 1

Physical versus logical topology

physical topology is which indicates arrangement of different elements of a network

It simply reflect the physical layout of devices and cables to form a connected network.

Where as logical topology is which indicates the arrangements of devices and their communication

Bus topology

Bus topology is a network structure in which every computer and network device is connected to single cable

star topology

Star topology is a topology in which all the network nodes are seperately (individually) connected to the central node or hub.

Ring topology

Ring topology is a topology where each node connects to exactly two other nodes that is forward and backward node and form loops in circle

Mesh topology

mesh topology is a topology in which all the nodes here are individually connected to another nodes through point to point link for communication
