Keyword Definition
Bus Topology A type of network topology in which all the nodes are connected to a single cable called a bus.
Client-Server Topology A network topology in which centralized servers or services provide resources and respond to requests from client devices.
Fully Connected Topology A network topology in which every node is directly connected to every other node.
Hybrid Topology A combination of two or more different network topologies, such as star-bus or ring-mesh.
Mesh Topology A type of network topology in which each node is connected to every other node, forming a fully interconnected network.
Network Topologies The arrangement of various elements of a computer network, such as computers, servers, routers, switches, etc., and the interconnections between them.
Peer-To-Peer Topology A network topology where all the devices or nodes can act as both clients and servers to each other.
Ring Topology A type of network topology in which all the nodes are connected in a closed loop.
Star Topology A type of network topology in which all the nodes are connected to a central device called a hub or switch.
Tree Topology A type of network topology in which nodes are arranged in a hierarchical structure, resembling a tree.
