MATH-301              Topology

DESCRIPTION

A topology is basically a way to organize the network. The physical topology is the way you physically lay out the network, like a map, and the logical topology is the way the information flows on the network. Usually, the physical and logical topology is the same, but sometimes they can differ, such as in a physical star/logical ring topology.
