hey Tech enthusiasts welcome to
knowledge catch where we break down Tech
Concepts into simple bite-sized
lessons today we're diving into Network
topologies the different ways devices
are connected in a network but before we

now let's get into it Network topologies
describe the arrangement of devices like
computers printers and servers in a
network it determines how data flows
between these devices and how reliable
or scalable the network can be choosing
the right topology for your network can
make all the difference in performance and
and
flexibility today we'll cover the most
common types of network topologies bus
star ring mesh and hybrid let's start
with the simplest one bus
topology in a bus topology all devices
are connected to a single Central cable
called the bus think of it like a single
Highway where every car each device
travels along the same route it's simple
cost-effective and easy to set up
especially for small
networks however the downside is that
that if there's too much traffic meaning
too many devices trying to send data at
once collisions can happen which slows
down the entire network and if the main
bus fails the entire network goes
down next up is the star topology in
this setup all devices are connected to
a central Hub which acts as the traffic
controller if you imagine the central
Hub as a roundabout and each device as a
road The Hub Direct data between the
devices this topology is great because
if one device fails the rest of the
network isn't affected but if the
central hub goes down the entire network
stops star topology is commonly used in
offices or homes because it's easy to
manage and
expand now let's take a look at the ring
topology in this setup each device is
connected to exactly two others forming
a continuous loop or ring data Flows In
One Direction around the ring traveling
from one device to the next until it
reaches its destination while this
topology can be more reliable than bus
topology it has a critical flaw if one
connection breaks the entire network is
affected it's efficient for smaller
networks but isn't very common for
larger more modern
networks a mesh topology offers the
highest level of reliability because
each device is connected to every other
device in the network this creates
multiple paths for data to travel so if
one connection fails data can still find
its way to the destination through a
different route imagine a city grid
where every street connects to every
other Street giving you endless ways to
get from one point to another mesh
topologies are often used in critical
environments where reliability is key
like in military or Hospital Networks
however it's expensive and complex to
install due to the sheer number of
connections finally we have the hybrid
topology which is a combination of two
or more different topologies like a mix
of star and bus topologies this allows
networks to take advantage of the
strength of multiple topologies for
example a large business might use a
start topology for one department and a
mesh topology for another hybrid
topologies are flexible and scalable
making them perfect for growing networks
that need to adapt to changing
requirements so how do you decide which
topology is best for your network let's
look at a typical office the marketing
department might use a star topology
because it's easy to manage and allows
for simple expansion as new team members
join on the other hand the IT department
might use a mesh topology for its
servers ensuring that if one connection
goes down the other others can still
keep the system running smoothly
choosing the right topology depends on
the size of your network how critical
its uptime is and your
budget and that's a quick overview of
the most common Network
topologies each topology has its pros
and cons and the right choice depends on
the needs of your network whether it's
Simplicity with bus topology reliability
with mesh topology or a mix with hybrid topology
topology
understanding these setups will help you
design a better network if you found
