Refers to the distribution and connection status of devices between networks composed of computers. Draw it twice on the map, and it will become a topology map. In general, the location of the equipment, the name type of the equipment and the type of connecting medium between the equipment should be indicated on the drawings. It is divided into physical topology and logical topology.

The topological structure of computer networks mainly includes bus topology, star topology, ring topology, tree topology, mesh topology and mixed topology.

Extended data:

When the number of computers is increasing day by day, and they are connected together through lines, servers, routers, etc. With a certain topological structure, the network began to form.

1969, the U.S. military ARPANET was first born. In 1970s, Ethernet based on ARPANET began to be used in university campus. In the 1990s, especially in the second half of 1990s, the Internet developed extremely rapidly and gradually connected the whole world into a huge network.

Although the mainstream computer network topology does not seem to use these technologies, the maturity of emerging technologies always needs time to verify, maybe not now, but as the next generation technology, there is great room for development in the future.

Some other new computer network topologies have been formed, and these emerging computer network topologies have surpassed the traditional computer network topologies based on the third layer network leaves-ridges.
