“Which network topology is the best for a school? Also, which

means of transmission should be used?”

TOPOLOGY:
A network topology describes the arrangement of systems on a computer network. It defines how the
computers, or nodes, within the network are arranged and connected to each other.

In school the best topology we use is star topology. In star topology, each computer is connected to a
central hub using a point-to-point connection. The central hub can be a computer server that manages
the network, or it can be a much simpler device that only makes the connections between computers
over the network possible. A school would have a large network enterprise. A lot of students and staff
members would be trying to use the network from all over the school.

Wired networks are generally much faster than wireless networks. ... This is mainly because a
separate cable is used to connect each device to the network with each cable transmitting data at
the same speed. For each of these, specific network technologies or specifications have been
designed. The medium must have properties that will ensure a reasonable error performance for a
guaranteed distance and rate of date delivery.
