8 Mesh Topology
In mesh topology, every mode on the network is

connected to all the other nodes of the network which
makes it a very stable network. However, the amount of
cabling required is very large.

8 Ring Topology

In ring topology, the computers in the network are connected in a circular fashion, and
the data travels in one direction. Each computer is directly connected to the next
computer, forming a single pathway for signals through the network. This type of
network is easy to install and manage.

If there’s a problem in network, it is easy to pinpoint which connection is defective. It is
also good for handling high-volume traffic over long distances since every computer can
act as a booster of the signal. On the downside, adding computers to this type of
network is more cumbersome, and if one single computer fails, the entire network goes
down.

8 Tree Topology

Tree topology has combined features of bus and star topology. Typically to form a tree
network, multiple star topologies are combined together through central cabel or bus.
