• Ring network. In the ring network topology, the nodes are connected
in a closed-loop configuration. Some rings pass data in one direction
only, while others are capable of transmission in both directions. These
bidirectional ring networks are more resilient than bus networks since
traffic can reach a node by moving in either direction. Metro networks
based on Synchronous Optical Network technology are the primary
example of ring networks.
• Mesh network. The mesh network topology links nodes with connections
so that multiple paths between at least some points of the network are
available. A network is considered to be fully meshed if all nodes are
directly connected to all other nodes and partially meshed if only some
nodes have multiple connections to others. Meshing multiple paths
increases resiliency but also increases cost. However, more space is
needed for dedicated links.
• Tree network. The tree network topology consists of one root node, and
all other nodes are connected in a hierarchy. The topology itself is
connected in a star configuration. Many larger Ethernet switch networks,
including data center networks, are configured as trees.
