Discuss hybrid topology with suitable diagram. 

1 Answer

Answer :

Discuss hybrid topology with suitable dig. Hybrid topology is one that uses two or more basic topologies together Fig.1 depicts this. In this case, the bus, star & ring topologies are used to create this hybrid topology. There are multiple ways in which this can be created. The hybrid topology which is to be used for a particular application depends on the requirements of that application. In practice, many networks are quite complex but they can be reduced to some form of hybrid topology.
