network topology

• Расположение или физическая и логическая структура узлов, устройств и соединений в компьютерной сети, определяющая, как данные передаются между ними.

The arrangement or physical and logical layout of nodes, devices, and connections in a computer network, defining how data flows between them.

1. Physical or logical arrangementB2formal

   The arrangement of elements (links, nodes, etc.) in a computer network, defining how devices are connected and communicate.

   Физическое или логическое расположение

   • A star network topology connects all devices to a central hub.
   • The IT team redesigned the network topology to improve data flow.
   • Understanding network topology is essential for troubleshooting connectivity issues.

2. Types of network structuresB2formal

   Specific configurations like bus, ring, mesh, or hybrid that determine data transmission paths.

   Типы сетевых структур

   • A mesh network topology provides high redundancy by connecting each node to multiple others.
   • The bus topology was common in early local area networks.
   • Choosing the right network topology depends on cost and performance needs.
