A network topology is the organization of a communication network's elements. Those elements can include links or nodes.

Network topologies can be used in many different networks, like radio networks and computer networks, like LAN, which stands for Local area networks. There are two types of network topologies, which include physical and ring topology. All of these answers are important to consider to ensure the network operates properly.

A network topology is a structure within a network. It is the way in which the links and nodes are arranged. There are two types of topology. These include physical topology which shows how the actual cable wires or installation takes place. The other type of topology is the logical topology which is the way in which the information moves through the network. There is a BUS Topology which makes all of the computers are linked with one cable.

The Ring Topology is when the computers form a ring because one computer is connected to another until all of the computers are connected together. There are many things to consider when choosing a network topology including current hardware, size of the network, budget limitations, need for reliability and if a network expansion is to be required.
