The term “topology” has a lot of meanings, one of which is used in the computer world to describe networks. What is the topology of computer networks, and will be further considered. But, looking a little ahead, in the simplest case this concept can be considered as a description of the configuration (location) of computers connected to the network. In other words, it all comes down to understanding not even the connections themselves, but geometric shapes that correspond to each type of terminal arrangement.
What is meant by the topology of the local network?
As it is already clear, computers united in unified networks are connected to them not randomly, but in a strictly defined order. To describe this scheme, an understanding of topology was introduced.
