The topology of a network is the geometric representation of the relationship of all the links and linking devices (usually called nodes) to one another.
List:
1. Mesh topology
2. Bus topology
3. Star Topology
4. Ring topology
5. Tree Topology
6. Hybrid Topology
1. Mesh Topology: in a mesh network topology, each of the network node, computer and other devices, are interconnected with one another.
2. Bus Topology: In networking a topology that allows all network nodes to receive the same message through the network cable at the same time is called bus topology.
3. Star Topology: unlike bus topology, where nodes are connected to central cable, here all the hosts or workstations are connected to central device called hub or connector with a point-topoint connection.
4. Ring Topology: A network topology that is setup in circular fashion. In other words all nodes in ring topology are connected in ring structure.
5. Tree Topology: as its names implies in this topology devices make a tree structure. It is also called expanded star topology.
6. Hybrid Topology: a combination of two or more different topologies makes for a hybrid topology.
