(a) Logical topology/ signal topology.
It deals with the way data signals are transferred from one device to the next on the network.
The following are examples of logical topologies:
(i) Token ring topology.
In this topology, a special package for the data called token goes round the network (transmission medium) and only the computer size the token can send data.
(ii) Ethernet topology.
In this topology, all computers listen to the network and can only send data when none of the others are sending.
(b) Physical topology.
Physical topology refers to the physical layout or arrangement of components on the network.
Examples of physical topologies include star, bus or ring topologies.
