Five Basic Concepts of Data Communication- 2nd Topology

Topology

The  Topology  is  the  geometric  representation  of  the  relationship  of  the  links  and  the linking devices (Nodes) in a Network" Or "Topology defines the physical or the Logical Agreement of Links in a Network" Topology of a Network is suggestive of how a network is laid out. It refers to the specific configuration and structure of the connections between the Links and the Nodes. Two or more devices connect to a Link and two or more Links form a Topology Question: What to consider when choosing a Topology???????? Answer: Relative status of the devices to be linked. Two relationships are possible in a network    PEER-TO-PEER: Devices share the link equally    PRIMARY-SECONDARY:  One  device  controls  traffic  and  the  others  must transmit through it
