layer one
Point to point topologies -with just 2 interconnected nodes, P2P do not require addressing
It is only used at Layer 2. It eliminates Layer 2 loops in network topologies.
what are the different networking topologies?
A router is the most efficient device at moving packets between similar network topologies. Routers operate at the network layer (Layer 3) of the OSI model and are designed to determine the best path for packets to travel based on destination IP addresses. They use routing tables to make these decisions and can handle different types of network topologies, such as Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and fiber optic networks, making them versatile and efficient for packet forwarding.
Logical topologies consist of virtual connections between nodes.
Mesh topologies and SONET rings.
Star topologies. Sometimes combined topologies are used of which i have no idea!! :P
Those are the topologies - star, bus, and ring (that is their name).
It is work at Network layer.
A complex combination of topologies is often referred to as a hybrid topology. It combines two or more different basic network topologies, such as star, bus, ring, or mesh, to meet the specific needs of a network infrastructure. Hybrid topologies offer a balance of scalability, fault tolerance, and performance.
I found and linked below a website that has information on many, but not all, network topologies.
Network Topology decides how Devices on a Network will be interconnected. General used Topologies are BUS, RING & STAR Topologies.
