A network topology is a description of the way computers are connected to each other and to other devices on a network. It can refer to the physical connections (the way the wires interconnect or the routing of wireless signals) or it can refer to the logical connections (the way computers can see each other or not see each other even though they have a physical connection.
The topology can refer to a home network with a handful of computers and printers or it can extend to vast sections of the internet.
Some examples of topologies are ring, bus, tree, mesh and each describes the way the links are made. Network topology is a huge topic and the subject of more books than can be counted. A link is below that offers some simple examples of topolgy and might be a springboard for more study.

What is a network tropology?
The physical topology of a network refers to the configuration of cables, computers, and other peripherals. Physical topology should not be confused with logical topology which is the method used to pass information between workstations.In communication networks, a topology is a usually schematic description of the arrangement of a network, including its nodes and connecting lines. There are two ways of defining network geometry: the physical topology and the logical (or signal) topology.The physical topology of a network is the actual geometric layout of workstations.above tropologies are described belowBus - Both ends of the network must be terminated with a terminator. A barrel connector can be used to extend it.Star - All devices revolve around a central hub, which is what controls the network communications, and can communicate with other hubs. Range limits are about 100 meters from the hub.Ring - Devices are connected from one to another, as in a ring. A data token is used to grant permission for each computer to communicate.

The internet is a private network?
A public network is a network to which anyone can connect. The best, and perhaps only pure, example of such a network is the Internet. A private network is any network to which access is restricted. A corporate network or a network in a school are examples of private networks.
