Widely Used Topologies For Lans Are

This document summarizes different LAN topologies including bus, tree, ring, and star. It provides details on how each topology is structured and how data is transmitted. A bus topology uses a multipoint connection where all nodes can transmit to all other nodes. A tree topology is a generalization of the bus where branches extend out from a central head end. A ring topology forms a loop by connecting nodes through repeaters that receive and retransmit data unidirectionally around the ring. A star topology connects each node directly to a central hub or switch to transmit data.

A Bus and Tree topology are using multipoint topology.
These topologies use medium access control protocol, which is basically a protocol for
broad cost type topologies.
Another protocol used for a bus-based LAN is toen passing scheme.
The tree topology is a generali!ation of bus topology.
"edia consists of number of branches without loops.
The tree layout starts at a point called head end.
#ach of this cable has further branches.
All the stations on the tree can receive transmitted.
$ata in the form of fi%ed si!ed frames.
The frame contains control information and destination address.
Ring Topology:
A ring is formed by lining a number of repeaters using uni-directional communication
lins.
&t is in the form of a loop. 'tation is connected to through a repeater.

&t receives the data on the incoming lin and copies them to the outgoing lin.

No buffers in the repeaters.
$ata circulates around the ring in only one direction.
Working Principles:
$ata is transmitted in the form of frames.
After transmission, a frame completes one full circulates around the ring.
The station address, then receives it, otherwise it ignores the frame.
&t is used in Toen (ing LANs and )$$&.
Star Topology:
&n star topology, each station is connected to a central switch called a star coupler or a
hub.
'tation is directly lined with the central hub through two e%clusive communication
lins, one for transmission in each direction.
*entral coupler node can operate in the broad cast mode.
This arrangement maes a star in to a bus topology.
It can act as a switch. Star topology is widely used in current Ethernet LANs.
