Download Types of Computer Networks

There are two types of client-server networks and peer to peer
type network.
1. Client-Server Networks
Servers are computers that provide
facilities for other computers on the
network and clients are computers that
receive or use the facilities provided by
the server. Server in client-server type of
network called a Dedicated Server as pure
acts as facility provider for workstations
and servers can not serve as workstation.
2. Peer To Peer Networks
type of peer to peer network is termed a
non-dedicated server, because the server
does not act as a pure server but at the
same time can serve as workstation.
Various Kinds Network Topology
 1. Bus Topology
Bus topology is often also referred to as
the backbone topology, where there is a
coaxial cable that dibentang then several
computers connected to the cable.
 2.
Ring Topology
Ring topology is often called a
ring topology because of its
shape like a circular cincing.
All computers in the network
will be connected in a ring.
The ring is almost the same
function as the star topology
concenrator the gathering
center of the cable end of
every connected computer.
 3.
Star Topology
Called a star topology because of its shape
like a star, a device called a concentrator
can be either a hub or switch into the
center, where all the computers in a
network connected to this concentrator.
 4.
Tree Topology
Tree Topology is the development or
generalization of a bus topology.
Transmission medium is a cable that
branches but not a closed loop.
 5.
Mesh Topology
Mesh topology is the topology
that has no rules in the
connection. This topology is
typically arise due to the lack of
initial planning when building a
network.
 6.
Wireless Topology
Wireless networks are a
trend as an alternative to
wired networks, especially
for the development of
traditional LAN because it
can reduce the cost of
wiring and reduce wiring
relocation tasks when there
is a change in the
architecture of buildings
and so on. This topology is
known by various names,
such as WLAN, WaveLAN,
HotSpot,
