Network Architecture
Architecture describes how a network is arranged
Arrangement is called topology
Types of network topologyStar
Bus
Ring
Hierarchical
-20
Star Network
Smaller computers linked to a central unit
Central unit is called the network hub
Control is maintained by polling
-21
Bus Network
Each device handles its own communication control
There is no host computer
Has a common connecting cable called a backbone
-22
Ring Network
Each device is connected to two other devices
No central file server or computer
Useful in a decentralized environment
-23
Hierarchical Network
Several computers linked to a central host
Computers are hosts to other computers
Useful in centralized organizations
-24
Strategies
Strategy is a way of coordinating the sharing of information and resources
Common network strategiesTerminal
