    Network topologies include client-server, peer-to-peer, bus, mesh, star, and ring. The document describes each topology's arrangement and advantages/disadvantages. Bus topology connects devices in a linear fashion but has single point of failure. Mesh topology allows simultaneous transmission but has high redundancy cost. Star topology is easy to install but a switch failure disables the network. Ring topology reduces collisions but the whole network fails if a node fails.

    NETWORK.

    Client-Server Network:
    is the medium through which clients access resources and services
    from a central computer, via either a local area network (LAN) or a wide-
    area network (WAN), such as the Internet.

    Peer-Peer Network:
    is created when two or more PCs are connected and share resources
    without going through a separate server computer.
    TOPOLOGIES

     Network topology is the arrangement of the elements of a


    communication network. Network topology can be used to define
    or describe the arrangement of various types of telecommunication
    networks, including command and control radio networks,
    industrial fieldbusses and computer networks.
    BUS TOPOLOGY
     Bus topology is a network setup where each computer and network device is connected to
    a single cable or backbone.

    Advantages of bus topology


     It works well when you have a small network.
     It's the easiest network topology for connecting computers or peripherals in a linear
    fashion.

     Disadvantages of bus topology


     It can be difficult to identify the problems if the whole network goes down.
     It can be hard to troubleshoot individual device issues.
     Bus topology is not great for large networks.
    MESH TOPOLOGY

     A mesh topology is a network setup where each computer and network device is
    interconnected with one another.
    Advantages of Mesh topology
     1) Data can be transmitted from different devices simultaneously. This topology can
    withstand high traffic.
     2) Even if one of the components fails there is always an alternative present. So data
    transfer doesn’t get affected.
    Disadvantages of Mesh topology
     1) There are high chances of redundancy in many of the network connections.
     2) Overall cost of this network is way too high as compared to other network topologies.
    STAR TOPOLOGY

     A star topology is a topology for a Local Area Network (LAN) in which all nodes are
    individually connected to a central connection point, like a hub or a switch.

    Advantages of Star Topology


     • Easy to install and wire.
     • No disruptions to the network when connecting or removing devices.

     Disadvantages of Star Topology


     • Requires more cable length than a linear bus topology.
     • If the connecting network device (network switch) fails, nodes attached are disabled
    and cannot participate in computer network communication.
    RING TOPOLOGY

     A ring topology is a network configuration where device connections create a circular


    data path. Each networked device is connected to two others, like points on a circle.
    Advantages of Ring topology :
     In this data flows in one direction which reduces the chance of packet collisions.
     In this topology additional workstations can be added after without impacting
    performance of the network.
     Equal access to the resources.
     Disadvantages of Ring topology :
     Due to the Uni-directional Ring, a data packet (token) must have to pass through all the
    nodes.
     If one workstation shuts down, it affects whole network or if a node goes down entire
    network goes down.
     It is slower in performance as compared to the bus topology
