OVERVIEW OF THE INTERNET 







ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF INTERNET, INTRANET, AND EXTRANET























NETWORK TOPOLOGY


NETWORK TOPOLOGY
A network topology refers to the layout of the computers and devices in a communications network.

  • It refers to the physical and logical layout of a network.


Physical topology: The arrangement of cabling is the physical topology.
Logical topology: The path that data travels between computers on a network is the logical topology.


TYPES OF NETWORK TOPOLOGY
  1. STAR NETWORK 
  2. BUS NETWORK
  3. RING NETWORK



STAR NETWORK TOPOLOGY
Definition: All the computers and others devices on the network connect to a central device, thus forming a star.
Advantages :
๐Ÿ‘‰If one devices fails, only that device is affected.
๐Ÿ‘‰Devices can be added or removed from network with no discruption.
๐Ÿ‘‰Easy to troubleshoot and isolate problem.
Disadvantages:
๐Ÿ‘‰If the hub or a switch fails, the entire network will be inoperabled.
๐Ÿ‘‰Requires more cables than most of the other topologies.
๐Ÿ‘‰More expensive because of the cost of hub/switch.




BUS NETWORK TOPOLOGY
Definition: A bus network consists of a single central cable (backbone), to which all computers and other devices connect.
Advantages:
๐Ÿ‘‰Inexpensive and easy to install.
๐Ÿ‘‰Other devices ca be attached or detached without disturbing the network.
๐Ÿ‘‰Failure of one device usually does not affect the rest of the network.
Disadvantages:
๐Ÿ‘‰There might be disruption when computer or other devices are added or removed.
๐Ÿ‘‰The break in the main cable(backbone) will prevent all systems from accessing the network.
๐Ÿ‘‰It is difficult to identify the problem if the entire network Shut down.





Definition:On a ring network, a cable forms a closed loop (ring) with all computers and devices arranged along the ring.
Advantages:
๐Ÿ‘‰Transmission of data is simple as packets travel in one direction only.
๐Ÿ‘‰Cable faults are easily located, making troubleshooting easier.
๐Ÿ‘‰All devices in ring topolgy share the network resources fairly.Disadvantages:
๐Ÿ‘‰A failure in any cable or device breaks the loop and can take down entire network.
๐Ÿ‘‰Data packets must pass through every computer, thus make it slower
๐Ÿ‘‰More difficult to install than a bus network
