Explain the differences between “star”,” tree” and “ring” topology?
Star topology: Star topology is characterized by the use of a central star hub or hub resp. switch. The individual network stations are linked individually with the active network components point-to-point, producing star network topologies. Tree topology: Tree topology is formed into a network by hierarchical in-series connection of multiple star topologies. In practice, this may consist of a combination of fiber-optics cables and Twisted Pair cables, depending on the demands placed on the individual transmission links.
