A ring topology
connects one host to
the next and the last
host to the first.
This creates a
physical ring of cable
A hierarchical topology
is similar to an
extended star.
However, instead of
linking the hubs
and/or switches
together, the system is
linked to a computer
that controls the traffic
on the topology.
A mesh topology is
implemented to provide
as much protection as
possible from
interruption of service.
Each host has its own
connections to all other
hosts.
