WHAT ARE THE TYPES OF NETWORK TOPOLOGY?

LINEAR BUS TOPOLOGY   Linear bus topology  is a type of network topology  which each device  is connected one after the other in a sequential chain (shown right). In this case, the bus is the network connection between the devices, and if any link in the network chain is severed, all network transmission is halted. It works well for small networks because it is simple to set up and utilizes shorter cables  since each device is connected to the next. It is a poor solution for larger networks, however since the entire network relies on each connection, and network speed is reduced as more devices are added. source: https://www.computerhope.com/jargon/l/linear-bus-topology.htm STAR TOPOLOGY   Alternatively referred to as a  star network ,  star topology  is one of the most common network setups. In this configuration, every node  connects to a central network device, like a hub, switch,  or computer. The central network device acts as a server  and the peripheral device
