Network Topology - refers to the layout or structure of the network in relation with the flow of data. It is the way in which the elements such as computers, printers, servers, and other computing appliances are arranged in a network. In this instance, you take note not only of the device's location, but also how it is connected to the network, the type of cables in use, and its layout. On the other hand, Logical Topology - depicts how information flows from one device to another within the network regardless of its physical design. Distances between nodes, physical interconnections, transmission rates, and/or signal types may differ between two networks, yet their topologies may be identical. Types of Network Topologies 1.) Linear Bus Topology - is a type of network topology in 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, a...
