Token Ring naturally uses the ring architecture. A mesh topology is usually found in a wide area network (WAN) to provide redundant paths between locations. See Ethernet and Token Ring.

A physical topology is how they are actually interconnected with wires and cables. For example, in a shared Ethernet network that uses hubs rather than switches, the logical topology appears as if ...

Today, many different types of computer are connected to some form of network. As well as PCs, many other devices can be connected, such as smartphones, smartwatches, fitness trackers, car engine ...

the whole network fails if the switch fails as no node can communicate a wired star topology requires plenty of cable - in a large network this can be expensive Star topologies tend to be found in ...
