What are the types of network topology?

Types of Network Topology

I. Linear Topology/Bus Topology

A network type in which every computer and network is connected to a single cable.

II. Ring Topology

It form a ring as each computer is connected to another computer with the last one connected to the first.

III. Star Topology

This hub is the central node and all other nodes and connected to the central node.

IV. Mesh Topology

It is a point-to-point connection to other nodes or devices. All the network nodes are connected to each other. Mesh has physical channels to link in address.

V. Hybrid Topology

Hybrid topology is also known as hybrid network. Hybrid networks combine two or more topologies in such a way that the resulting network does not exhibit one of the standard topologies (e.g., bus, star, ring, etc.). For example, a tree network (or star-bus network) is a hybrid topology in which star networks are interconnected via bus networks. However, a tree network connected to another tree network is still topologically a tree network, not a distinct network type. A hybrid topology is always produced when two different basic network topologies are connected.
