Bus, Ring, Star, & Mesh

A network topology in which devices are connected in a straight line using a shared network cable.

Bus Topology

A network topology in which devices are connected in a circular or ring-like pattern, with each device having access to the network through a token passing mechanism.

Ring Topology

A network topology in which devices are connected to a central network device, such as a switch, with each device communicating through the central device.

Star Topology

A network topology in which devices are connected to each other in a complex and dynamic pattern, allowing for high availability and redundancy in communication.

Mesh Topology
