If we want to establish our own network there are some topologies which we can follow so that our network can be reliable. we will discuss the some of them here briefly. Network Topologies Network topoligies are refered as layout of a network. It shows us how different nodes (devices) will be connected to each other to communicate (Rouse,2016). There are six commenly used network topoligies shown in figure below which shows how the devices or nodes will be connected to each other. Star topology Star topology is local area network in every single device is directly connected to central connection point. For examp...
