Network Topology
• Disadvantage
1. Performance decreases
2. Weak signals
3. Difficult troubleshooting
Star Topology .
Star topology is a network
configuration where each device is
connected directly to a central hub
or switch.All data transmissions
pass through this central point,
making it easy to manage and
troubleshoot network
connections.Star topology is
commonly used in Ethernet
networks. If central hub failure can
disrupt the entire network.
•. Advantages
1. Easily expended and modified
2. Easy to troubleshoot
3. Multiple cable types supported by hub
• Disadvantages
1. If hub fails then entire network will fail
2. Require more cables
3. May require a device to rebroadcast signals across the network

R
Ring topology is a network
configuration where devices are
connected in a circular pathway.
Data travels in one direction
around the ring, passing through
each device. While offering
balanced traffic and easy
installation, it's vulnerable to
disruptions if a device or
connection fails.
•. Advantages
1. It provides an orderly network in which every device has access
to the token and can transmit.
2. It performs well under a heavy load.
• Disadvantages
1. Failure of one computer can effect the whole network .
2. Difficult to troubleshoot.
3. Change mode with adding or removing a device effect the entire
network.

M
A mesh network or mesh
topology uses separate cable to
connect each device to every
other device on the network,
providing a straight
communication path. For
sending messages, check the
cable connected into two
devices. A message is send
directly from sender to receiver
because each one has individual
and separate connection.
•. Advantages
1. Enhance for error tolerance provided by redundant links.
2. Easy to troubleshoot.
• Disadvantages
1. Difficult to install and maintain.
2. Expensive.

T
Tree topology is a hierarchical
network structure resembling a
tree with a root node and
branches, commonly used in
large networks for its scalability
and efficient data transmission,
although it can be complex to
manage due to its hierarchical
nature.
•. Advantages
1. It is scalable.Secondary nodes allow more devices to be
connected to a central node.
2. Point to point connection of devices.
3. Having different levels of the network makes it more manageable
hence easier fault identification and isolation.
• Disadvantages
1. Maintenance of the network may be an issue when the network
spans a great area.
2. Since it is a variation of bus topology, if the backbone fails, the
entire network is crippled.

H
Hybrid networks use a
combination of any two or more
topologies. Mesh topology is a
network design where every
device is interconnected with
every other device, creating
multiple redundant paths for data
transmission, ensuring high
reliability and fault tolerance, but
it's complex to set up and
manage.
•. Advantages
1. High Reliability:
2. Scalability:
3. Enhanced Performance
• Disadvantages
1. Costly
2. Complexity
3. Complexity
