What are the types of network topology?

LINEAR BUS TOPOLOGY

bus topology is a network setup in which each computer and network device are connected to a single cable or backbone. The device is connected one after the other in a sequential.

MESH TOPOLOGY

Mesh topology is a type of networking where all nodes cooperate to distribute data among each other.  This topology was originally developed 30+ years ago for military applications.


RING TOPOLOGY
ring topology is a network configuration in which device connections create a circular data path. Each networked device is connected to two others, like points on a circle. Together, devices in a ring topology are referred to as a ring network.



STAR TOPOLOGY

Star topology is one of the most common network setups. In this configuration, every node connects to a central network device, like a hub, switch, or computer. The central network device acts as a server and the peripheral devices act as clients.



HYBRID TOPOLOGY



Hybrid topology is an integration of two or more different topologies to form a resultant topology which has many advantages (as well as disadvantages) of all the constituent basic topologies rather than having characteristics of one specific topology.
