ASSIGNMENT -2

1. Write Benefits of wire and wireless network.

Advantages and disadvantages of using wired


networks
Using a wired network has a number of advantages:

• generally faster data transfer compared to wireless networks


• much less likely to suffer from interference than wireless networks
• more difficult for unauthorised users to intercept data

Advantages and disadvantages of using wireless


networks
Using a wireless network brings many benefits to a user:

• new nodes can easily be added without interruption to the network


• users can move around freely and still stay connected

2. Discuss the Network topology.


A network topology is the physical and logical
arrangement of nodes and connections in a network. Nodes usually
include devices such as switches, routers and software with switch and
router features. Network topologies are often represented as a graph.

There are several types of topologies. For example, physical topologies include
the following:

• Bus network. In the bus network topology, every node is connected in


series along a single cable. This arrangement is found today primarily
in cable broadband distribution networks.

• Star network. In the star network topology, a central device connects


to all other nodes through a central hub. Switched local area networks
based on Ethernet switches and most wired home and office networks
have a physical star topology.

• 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.

• Hybrid network. The hybrid network topology is any combination of two or


more topologies. Hybrid topologies typically provide exceptional flexibility,

as they can accommodate a number of setups. For example, different
departments in the same organization may opt for personalized network
topologies that are more adaptable to their network needs
