Ethernet uses a star configuration, although earlier Ethernets used a bus. Token Ring naturally uses the ring architecture. A mesh topology is usually found in a wide area network (WAN ...

We all take Ethernet and its ubiquitous RJ-45 connector ... and Digital Equipment Corporation had issues with the network topology and the wiring itself. It took ten years of work and a Herculean ...

An earlier local area network (LAN) access method developed by IBM. Conforming to the IEEE 802.5 standard, the Token Ring access method connects up to 255 nodes in a star topology at 4 ...

runs between bridges and would be the beginning of the transformation of Ethernet as a shared medium (like WiFi today) into a star topology network, with each connected system getting its very own ...
