Long Question/Answer.
Q1: Define Network Topology. How many types of network topology are there? Define
them.
Ans: Network Topology:
The arrangement of nodes and links is network topology.
Types of Network Topology:
Some types of network topologies are:
1. Bus Topology:
Each node is linked to only one other node. In this topology, data transmission over
the network connections occurs in one direction.
2. Ring Topology:
Each node is link to two other nodes, forming a ring. Data can flow bi-directionally.
However, single node failure can bring down the entire network.
3. Star Topology:
A central server node is linked to multiple client network devices. This topology
performs better as data doesn’t have to go through each node. It is also more reliable.
4. Mesh Topology:
Every node is connected to many other nodes. In a full mesh topology, every node is
connected to every other node in the network.

3. The transmission media that require a physical connection is:
a. Electronic media b. Guided media
c. Unguided media d. None of these
4. A network topology that allows the nodes to connect itself with every other node is:
a. Bus b. Star
c. Mesh d. Ring
5. A ________ is an extremely common type of network.
