Types of Network Topologies:
1. Point to Point Topology
- only use two host
- using a single cable
- as long as they are two devices
- no less, no more
Diagram:
1. Easy to implement
2. Low cost
Disadvantages:
1. Cable breaks will affect to the whole network
2. Maximum only 2 hosts can be connected
2. Bus Topology
- All devices share only one cable
Diagram:
Advantages:
1. It's cheap
2. Easy to implement and extend
Disadvantages:
1. Traffic flow will be lagging because they just use only one cable
2. If there is a broken in one part, it's not working anymore
3. Star Topology
- All devices are connect to only one hub or switch
Diagram:
Advantages:
1. Easy to install
2. Easy to detect broken part or to remove parts
Disadvantages:
1. Requires more cable
2. More cost
4. Ring Topology
- All devices are connected to one another in the shape of a closed loop
Diagram:
Advantages:
1. Sending message is faster because the cable is only use by the sender
2. Fault identification is easy
Disadvantages:
1. Need to watch for the token ring to reach it's destination
2. Your message might be read by the other computers
5. Mesh Topology
1. Connected to one or multiple host
2. It has many point to point connection
Diagram:
Advantages:
1. Sending the message is faster
2. They are many ways to send message even if one cable is broken
Disadvantages:
1. Many cable
2. Expensive
6. Tree Topology
- Also known as Hierarchical Topology
- The most common form of network topology
Diagram:
Advantages:
1. Fast
2. Easy to identify the problem
Disadvantages:
1. Expensive
2. Heavy traffic because the network and make it slow
