In this chapter we present several fundamental networking concepts. We begin with an overview of network topologies, giving examples of the two most general designs on which most topologies are based: ...

the whole network fails if the switch fails as no node can communicate a wired star topology requires plenty of cable - in a large network this can be expensive Star topologies tend to be found in ...

Network topology is the "shape" of a network of biological interactions and shows how the nodes — the parts of the network where elements interact — are connected to each other. Common ...
