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: -Network topology is the arrangement of the elements (links, nodes, etc.) of a communication network.
Detailed explanation-3: -Star. A star topology is designed with each node (file server, workstations, and peripherals) connected directly to a central network hub, switch, or concentrator (See fig. 2). Data on a star network passes through the hub, switch, or concentrator before continuing to its destination.
Detailed explanation-4: -A bus topology orients all the devices on a network along a single cable running in a single direction from one end of the network to the other-which is why it’s sometimes called a “line topology” or “backbone topology.” Data flow on the network also follows the route of the cable, moving in one direction.
