Unit 3 Assignment 1: Network Topology Paper
4/8/14
There are many different types of network topologies. They each have their different strong points. They also have their own disadvantages. There are 3 main network topologies used today, hierarchical star, bus and ring. In the following paragraphs I will go into each of these topologies. The first network topology is hierarchical star, also known as the tree topology. This topology has different levels. The top level is the ‘root’ node; it serves as the central connection to the next level of computers. Then the second levels of computers serves as a connection to the third level of computers so on and so forth for the rest of the computers.
