Detailed explanation-1: -A network topology is the physical and logical arrangement of nodes and connections in a network. Nodes usually include devices such as switches, routers and software with switch and router features. Network topologies are often represented as a graph.
Detailed explanation-2: -Physical Topology means the physical layout of the network. Logical topology means how the network device layout will be shown and how the data will be transferred. For example − Ring, Bus, Star, and Mesh. For example − Ring and Bus.
Detailed explanation-3: -Network topology is usually a 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.
