A network topology refers to the layout or structure of a computer network, including how different devices or nodes are connected and communicate with each other. This can include physical aspects such as the physical layout of cables and devices, as well as logical aspects such as how data is transmitted between devices. There are several types of network topologies, including bus, star, ring, mesh, and tree topologies. Each topology has its own advantages and disadvantages in terms of cost, scalability, reliability, and performance.
