LAN Topology:-
The pattern of interconnection of nodes or workstations in a network is termed as a network topology, Before selecting a topology one should consider on the factors such as cost, flexibility and reliability of the topology. Some common LAN topologies are:
a) Star Topology:
It consists of a central hub to which all other nodes are connected by a single path. The advantage of the star topology is that every connection is dedicated to one user so it gets full bandwidth of the channel, easy to troubleshoot and simple access protocol. Its disadvantage is high cost of media and equipment needed to supply individual connection and central node dependency,
