introduccion

Network topology is the layout pattern of interconnections of the various elements (links, nodes, etc.) of a computer network. Network topologies may be physical orlogical. Physical topology means the physical design of a network including the devices, location and cable installation. Logical topology refers to how data is actually transferred in a networkas opposed to its physical design. In general physical topology relates to a core network whereas logical topology relates to basic network.

Topology can be considered as a virtual shapeor structure of a network. This shape does not correspond to the actual physical design of the devices on the computer network. The computers on a home network can be arranged in a circlebut it does not necessarily mean that it represents a ring topology.

Any particular network topology is determined only by the graphical mapping of the configuration of physical and/orlogical connections between nodes. The study of network topology uses graph theory. Distances between nodes, physical interconnections, transmission rates, and/or signal types may differ intwo networks and yet their topologies may be identical.

1 Basic topology types

The study of network topology recognizes seven basic topologies:

Point-to-point topology
Bus(point-to-multipoint) topology
Star topology
Ring topology
Tree topology
Mesh topology
Hybrid topology

objectives

diferentiate between the diferent topologies

know what topology youhave to use and can recognize which is going to help you more than the others.

Network topologies

1) design a network for an internet cafe

conclusion

when you need a topologyalways there will be one that will be more effective and will help you more than others
the commonly used network topology in internet cafe is: physical the star and logical the bus
