Network topology is the "shape" of a network of biological interactions and shows how the nodes — the parts of the network where elements interact — are connected to each other. Common ...

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 network's topology is the arrangement, or pattern, in which all nodes on a network are connected together. There are several common topologies that are in use, but today the most common ...

For example, in a shared Ethernet network that uses hubs rather than switches, the logical topology appears as if every node is connected to a common bus that runs from node to node. However ...
