Networking Topology: It is a layout of interconnection of nodes and their workflow in a network.

Types of Networking Topology:

a) Linear 

b) Star 

c) Ring 

d) Tree 

e) Mesh 

f) Hybrid

Difference between Star, Ring and Tree Network Topology (Three difference)

1) Star: Computers are connected to a central hub through a dedicated link or a common path.

Ring: Every nodegets connected to its neighbouring nodes on both the sides.

Tree: It comprised multiple star topologies as a linear or bus network. The control hub of each star topology is directly connected to the central backbone of bus and every individual hub works as a root of tree for all computers.

2) Star: Error detection is very easy.

Ring: Error detection is highly difficult.

Tree: Error detection is very easy.

3) Star: An error in any node donot cause disruption of the network

Ring: An error in any node can cause disruption of the whole network.

Tree: Failure of backbone can cause total disruption of network
