Star One of the most common setup of networks is the “star topology”, being that every node within the network connects to a central network device. The central network device can be a hub, switch, or even a computer, and it also acts as a server to the nodes on the network. Some advantages to the star topology are the ease of adding another computer to the network and the networks continue to function normally when one network fails. The disadvantages are the cost is higher, the performance is

Understanding Basic Network Structure A network consists of 2 or more computers connected together, and they can communicate and share resources (e.g. information) Why Networking? Sharing information — data communication Sharing hardware or software - print document Centralize administration and support - Internet-based, so everyone can access the same administrative or support application from their PCs How many kinds of Networks? Depending on one’s perspective, we can classify networks in different

A network displays how things are connected and belongs to a branch of mathematics known as Topology. Objects which are connected are shown as nodes or vertices and the connections between the nodes are edges. Networks can represent a range of systems applicable in the real world, including internet networks, social networks, transportation networks and other respective networks. A network and corresponding algorithms can effectively solve management problems. An algorithm for identifying the shortest

1.1) The organization was built on bus topology which works best with only a limited number of devices connected. The reason users are experiencing slow speeds to additional users were added. The bus network topology at optimal speeds when there are less than 12 device on the network. 1.2) They could create a new network with the same design for the new users thus decreasing the pressure on the current network. Another option would be to create a new network with topological plan which would be able

Network Topologies First off network topologies are the arrangement of the various elements (links, nodes, etc.) of a computer or biological network. This helps with communication and network information processing. This is a major part of today’s technology and is used by big business as well as home and personal use. Hierarchical star topology is when all computers are connected to a single central located point. The single point is usually a hub of servers and switches that are located in

2. What are the main telecommunications transmission media and types of networks? Name the different types of physical transmissions media and compare them in terms of speed and cost? Twisted wire consists of strands of copper wire twisted in pairs and is the oldest transmission medium. Many telephone systems had twisted wires installed for analog communication but can also be used for digital. The twisted wires used in today’s LANs, such as CAT5, can obtain speeds up to 1 Gbps but is limited
