“The layout pattern & connectivity scheme between the devices in a network is called network topology”. It is a virtual shape or structure of the network. Devices on the network are called as nodes. The most common nodes are computers and peripheral devices. Network topology is a virtual illustration of these nodes and their connections using physical cabling. There are a number of different types of network topologies which are broadly divided into two types: Physical Network Topology: Actual Connectivity/Layout as per real cabling & connections Logical Network Topology: Virtual view of the network that member devices see Physical Network Read More …
