FUNDAMENTALS OF COMPUTER

Detailed explanation-1: -Hybrid Topology Combines two or more of the standard topologies. This can be a good solution to create quickly link together different existing networks into a unified system.

Detailed explanation-2: -It is the combination of two or more different topologies. For example, in a college we have so many departments, let us say one department uses ring topology and another department uses Star topology, connecting these two topologies which results in Hybrid Topology.

Detailed explanation-3: -In a fully connected mesh topology, each device has a point to point link with every other device in the network. If there are ‘n’ devices in the network, then each device has exactly ‘(n-1)’ input-output ports and communication links. These links are simplex links, i.e., the data moves only in one direction.

Detailed explanation-4: -Hybrid topology is an integration of two or more different topologies to form a resultant topology which has many advantages (as well as disadvantages) of all the constituent basic topologies rather than having characteristics of one specific topology.
