Explain what is a network and types of network topology available. For each of the network topology, give advantages and disadvantages relating to them. A network is a series of points or nodes interconnected by communication paths. Networks can interconnect with other networks and contain subnetworks. There are four type of network.
First, star topology. It interconnects many nodes through a central computer system, say a server. When sending a message from one node to another node, the message must be sent to the server first. The server receives and will re-transmit the message to intended note. Advantages | Disadvantages | 1. Easy to install and wire. 2. No disruptions to the network then connecting or removing devices. | 1. Requires more cable length than a
