003 - Network Topologies Flashcards
It refers to the physical and logical arrangement of nodes and connections in a computing network.
Network Topology
is a network topology in which each network component is physically connected to a central node such as a router, hub or switch.
Star Topology
Is a network topology where device connections create a circular data path.
Ring Topology
is a network topology in which nodes are directly connected to a common half-duplex link.
Bus topology
What doe CAN mean?
Controller Area Network
is a local area network topology in which the infrastructure nodes connect directly, dynamically and non-hierarchically to as many other nodes as possible and cooperate with one another to efficiently route data to and from clients.
Mesh Topology
is a type of network topology in which two or more different topologies are integrated or combined to lay out a network.
Hybrid Topology
All devices communicate through an access point.
Wireless Topology (Infrastructure)
-No pre-existing infrastructure
-Devices communication amongst themselves.
Wireless Topology
(Ad hoc networking)
-Ad hoc devices work together to form a mesh cloud.
-Self form and self heal
