Star topology is one of the most common network setups. In this configuration, every node
connects to a central network device, like a hub, switch, or computer. The central network
device acts as a server and the peripheral devices act as clients. In a star topology setup, either a
coaxial or RJ-45 network cable is used, depending on the type of network card installed in each
computer.

TREE TOPOLOGY
A tree topology is a special type of structure where many connected elements are arranged like
the branches of a tree. For example, tree topologies are frequently used to organize the
computers in a corporate network, or the information in a database.
In computer networks, a tree topology is also known In computer programming, tree topologies can
as a star bus topology. It incorporates elements of structure many kinds of data, including a computer
both a bus topology and a star topology. Below is an program itself.

BUS TOPOLOGY
Bus topology is a network setup where each computer and network device is connected to a
single cable or backbone. Depending on the type of computer network card, a coaxial cable or
an RJ-45 network cable is used to connect them together.
It works well when you have a small network. It can be difficult to identify the problems if the whole
network goes down.
It's the easiest network topology for connecting
It can be hard to troubleshoot individual device issues.
computers or peripherals in a linear fashion.
Bus topology is not great for large networks.
It requires less cable length than a star topology.
Terminators are required for both ends of the main cable.
Additional devices slow the network down.
NETWORKING TERMINOLOGIES
WAN
It stands for Wide Area Network and covers a wide area such as a city.
LAN
It stands for Local Area Network and covers a small area such as a small office or home. It physically connects all the computers located in the premises.
Internet
It is a computer network system that connects the computers of the world. It is normally connecting through WAN and LAN.
Intranet
It is a close room computer network system, as it covers a small area and only authorized people can access it.
Extranet
It is also a sort of Internet the access to which is granted only to a few.
Web log
It is a sort of online inventory (normally on a specialized topics) that consists of a series of entries. These entries are arranged in opposite chronological order.
The person who maintains the weblog regularly update it with a new information.
Podcast
It is a digital file that normally contains audio or video record and is available on the Internet as well.
