Community topology is the format of how a community is related and the way the completely different nodes
throughout the community talk. How a community is related can decide prices,
upkeep, performance, fault detection, efficiency, and software program being
used and the utilisation of sources throughout the community.
Every topology has its benefits and downsides, and which one is used will likely be
depending on components similar to location, space, value and necessities.
A typical community topology for networks are:
Native Space Networks (LANs) Bus, Star, Mesh, Ring, Hybrid
The star and lengthen star (tree topology) are the most well-liked topologies for Ethernet
networks.
Wider Space Networks (WANs) relate to the interconnection of networks over geographical
areas.
The kind of topology chosen for a WAN will likely be depending on the variety of websites that should
be related, the gap between then and current infrastructure.
Totally different topologies embrace Peer-to-Peer, Ring, Star, Mesh or Tiered.
Class exercise: Draw a WAN topology for every of the topologies Mesh, Ring, Star.
Digital Non-public Networks (VPNs) have a number of distant friends transmitting non-public information
securely to at least one one other over an unsecured community. There are three widespread classes of
VPN topologies:
 Hub and spoke, partial or full mesh, hybrid
 Extranet topologies
 Particular function topologies
