Network Topology

What is Network Topology?

The network topology describes the physical or logical structure of a network, i.e. how the devices and connections are organized. There are various topology types, including Star topology, Bus topology, ring topology and mesh topology. Jede hat spezifische Vor- und Nachteile, abhängig von den Anforderungen des Netzwerks.

Advantages and areas of application

Choosing the right network topology influences the efficiency, scalability and fault resistance of a network. Star topologies, for example, are easy to manage and widely used in Home networks and small officeswhile mesh topologies offer high Redundancy and Reliability in critical infrastructures like Data centers offer. A sophisticated network topology ensures optimum performance and fast problem solving in the event of failures.
