Tree Topology
A network topology that is a variation of a star and a bus topology. It involves the grouping of star-configured networks into a bus-like structure.
Ring Topology
A network topology where each node connects to exactly two other nodes, forming a single continuous pathway for signals through each node - a ring.
Hybrid Topology
A network topology that combines two or more topologies, adopting the advantages and disadvantages of each.
Partial Mesh Topology
A network topology where some devices are connected to all others, but some are only connected to those with which they exchange the most data.
Point-to-Point Topology
The simplest topology with a dedicated link between two endpoints.
Bus Topology
A network setup where each computer and network device is connected to a single cable or backbone.
Star Topology
A network topology where each network device is connected to a central hub, acting as a conduit to transmit messages.
Mesh Topology
A network setup where every device is connected to every other device on the network, allowing for most transmissions to be distributed even if one of the connections goes down.
Daisy Chain
A network topology where devices are connected one after the other in a linear or ring fashion.
Fully Connected Topology
Another term for mesh topology where there is a direct connection between every pair of devices in the network.
