Seeing a network clearly

Seeing a network clearly

Comparison of a physical star topology, where six hosts connect to a central switch or access point, and a logical bus topology, where a frame from one host is made available to all hosts and only the addressed host accepts it

A network is a set of connected devices that can communicate and share resources. A host is any device on that network that can send or receive data, such as a laptop, printer, phone or server. A topology describes how the network is arranged.
