Network Topology

Network topology is, things that explains geometric relationship between the basic elements making up the network, namely nodes, links, and the station. Network topology can be divided into 5 main categories as below.

• Star Topology
• Ring Topology 
• Bus Topology 
• Mesh topology
• Tree Topology 

Star Topology

Star topology is a form of network topologies in the form of convergence of the middle node to every node or user. Star network topology including network topology with Middle costs.

Benefit Topology star

• Damage to one channel will affect only the channel network.
• Level of security this type is High.
• Resistant to traffic of a busy network. 
• Addition and subtraction station can be done easily.

Lack Topology Star

If the center node is damage, the whole network is interrupted.

RING TOPOLOGY

Ring topology is a network topology point-shaped circuit, each of which is connected to two other points, such that form a circular path to form a ring. In the ring topology, data communication can be disrupted if a single point impaired. FDDI networks anticipate this weakness by sending data clockwise and counterclockwise at the same time.
