Outline the three general network topologies (bus‚ ring‚ and star). Describe the components‚ devices‚ and arrangement of components and devices involved in each topology‚ as well as some of the pros and cons of each configuration. A bus network topology has the set up in which all the devices are connected by a common shared cable called the bus. The bus architecture has several common instances which include the one in the motherboard‚ (of most computers) and some with the versions of the Ethernet

NT 1310 NETWORK TOPOLOGY PAPER: KENDAL JEFFERSON Network topology refers to layout of a network and how different nodes in a network are connected to each other and how they communicate. Mesh Topology: in a mesh network‚ devices are connected with many redundant interconnections between network nodes‚ in a true mesh topology every node has a connection to every other node in the network. There are two types of mesh topologies: Full mesh occurs when every node has a circuit connection it to every

is on ‘how network architecture has changed over the decade’. In this report‚ I’d be talking about different network architecture that has been adopted over the past years. I would as well put light upon early network architecture and the advantages and disadvantages of former and why and how latter architecture were needed and adopted. Network architecture is the design of communication network. It is the complete framework of computer network. The diagram of the network architecture provides

GSM: Network Architecture The GSM technical specifications define the different entities that form the GSM network by defining their functions and interface requirements. The GSM network can be divided into four main parts: * The Mobile Station (MS). * The Base Station Subsystem (BSS). * The Network and Switching Subsystem (NSS). * The Operation and Support Subsystem (OSS). figure 1: Architecture of the GSM network Mobile Station A Mobile Station consists of two main
