16
Bus Topology
• All nodes are connected in
sequence on a single cable
• Used most often in
peer-to-peer networks
• Networked computers
communicate with each
other
• One computer transmits
data at a time
– Access methods avoid data
collisions
– Data is transmitted in packets
Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall
17
Ring Topology
• Nodes are laid out in
a ring.
• A token (data
packet) flows in one
direction from
device to device.
• Recent versions
have data transfer
rates of up to 100
Mbps.
Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall
18
Star Topology
• Nodes connect to a central
communications device
(switch).
• A node sends a signal to
the switch, which
retransmits it to the
other nodes.
• A node accepts only
signals addressed to it.

Avoiding Data Collisions
on an Ethernet Network
Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall

Transmission Media
• The routes data takes to flow between
devices on a network
• Wired
– Twisted pair
– Coaxial
– Fiber-optic
• Wireless

Twisted Pair Cable
• Pairs of copper wire
twisted around each other
• Twists make the wires less
susceptible to interference
• Shielded twisted pair (STP)
– Layer of foil shielding
• Unshielded twisted pair
(UTP)
– Cat 5E: Bandwidth 200 Mbps
– Cat 6: Bandwidth 1 Gbps
– No foil layer
