- Mesh
A mesh topology is one in which devices are connected with multiple connections between network devices.
- Ring
A ring topology connects computers in a continuous loop with no open end. This type of topology is often used in Token Ring or fiber optic networks.
- Bus
A Bus topology uses a common backbone to connect all devices.
- Star
A star topology uses a central point through which devices connect.
- Hybrid
A hybrid topology is a combination of two or more basic network topologies, such as a star-bus, star-ring, or hybrid-mesh topology.
