{"Image DocumentName": "Understanding Standard Topologies", "Image ImageDescription": "Networks are based on three physical topologies. A bus consists of a series of computers connected along a single cable segment. Computers connected via a central concentration point (hub) are arranged in a star topology. Computers connected to form a loop create a ring. Physical topologies describe cable arrangement. How the data travels along those cables might represent a different logical topology. The logical topologies that dominate LANs include bus, ring, and switching, all of which are usually implemented as a physical star.
