1. 环形拓扑:
环形拓扑是一种网络拓扑,其中每个设备都连接到具体的两条以圆形或环形方式与设备相连的分支。环形拓扑不太可靠,因为一台设备的故障会干扰整个网络。环形拓扑比树拓扑便宜。
2.树拓扑:
树形拓扑是一种网络拓扑,其中设备以树的形式组织。在树形拓扑结构中,层次结构由没有环路的分支电缆形成,将根与所有其他节点连接起来进行通信。树形拓扑更昂贵,因为它是密集连线的。
环形拓扑和树拓扑的区别如下:
S.No. | Ring Topology | Tree Topology |
---|---|---|
1. | In Ring topology, each device is connected to specifically two branches connected to devices. | In tree topology, the devices are organized in the form of a tree. |
2. | Ring topology is less reliable than tree topology. | Tree topology is more reliable as failure of one device does not disturb the full network. |
3. | The amount of cable needed in ring topology is very less than the tree topology. | The amount of cable needed in tree topology is high than the ring topology. |
4. | Ring topology is generally suited for LAN. | Tree topology is used in WAN. |
5. | Security is low in ring topology. | While security is high in tree topology. |
6. | The cost of ring topology is lower than tree topology. | The cost of tree topology is high in comparison to ring topology. |
