Computer Network Topology - Mesh, Star, Bus, Ring and Hybrid
RING TOPOLOGY
Here each device has a dedicated connection with two devices on either side. The signal is passed in one direction from device to device until it reaches the destination and each device has a repeater. When one device received signals instead of intended another device, its repeater then regenerates the data and passes them along. To add or delete a device requires changing only two connections
TREE TOPOLOGY
Alternatively referred to as a star bus topology. Tree topology is one of the most common network setups that is similar to a bus topology and a star topology. A tree topology connects multiple star networks to other star networks. Below is a visual example of a simple computer set up on a network using the star topology.

HYBRID TOPOLOGY
A network which contains all type of physical structure and connected under a single backbone channel.
CONSIDERATION OF CHOOSING A TOPOLOGY
Money-Bus n/w may be the least expensive way to install an n/w.
Length-of cable needed- the linear bus n/w uses shorter lengths of cable.
Future growth-with star topology, expending is easily done by adding another
Cable type-most commonly used cable in the commercial organization is twisted pair.
Which often used with star topologies
