A topology is the layout or configuration of a computer network. It defines how computers and other devices are connected to each other and how data is transmitted between them. There are several types of topologies, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. In this article, we will discuss the bus topology consists of a single cable that connects all the devices in a network. Each device is connected to the cable using a T-connector. Data is transmitted along the cable in both directions and each device on the network can access it. The advantage of a bus topology is that it is simple and easy to install. However, if the cable is damaged, the entire network will be affected. Additionally, as more devices are added to the network, the speed of data transmission may decrease. A star topology consists of a central hub or switch that is connected to each device in the network. Each device is connected to the hub using a separate cable.
