A star topology is a type of mathematical topology. Mathematical topology is essentially geometry without concern for distance. It asks questions such as for a given shape, (in the abstract sense) "what connects to what," "is it possible to reach point x from point y without passing through point z," and "are these two points connected at all?" A star topology is a type of topology where all the points (for example, computers in a computer network) are connected to a central point, but not directly to each other. Go to the following address to see several types of network topologies, including a star topology. http://scilnet.fortlewis.edu/tech/Network/Topologies.htm
Star topology.
The most common LAN topology is that of a "star." In a star topology, each computer, or "node", is connected to a central hub. This is more reliable than a more classical "ring" topology, because a node failing will not bring down the entire network. A bus topology is arguably more reliable, but has poorer performance.
The "star" topology is the most common.
Star topology
Star topology is one of the oldest topology
Star Topology, where Hubs can act as repeaters.
bus topology.
in bus topology computers are connected with each other by a wire in a approximately strait manner..and if one computer stops working the whole network will stop. while in star topology every computer is connected with the host computer & much wire is require..and if any client computer tops working it will not effect the whole network.----ravi singh chauhan...7275974787
Scalability and reliabillty of star topology makes it the best, easy to remove or add a device.
Ring Topology, Mesh Topology, Bus Topology, Star Topology

There are number of LAN technologies and each technology is classified into a category according to its topology , two such topologies are star and ring topology. In star topology ,The hub accepts data from a sender and delivers it to receiver, there is no security in star topology . In Ring topology Computers are connected in a circle- the first computer is cabled with the second computer.
