Understanding Network Topologies: Quiz & Insights
Are you ready to test your networking knowledge? Let’s explore some key concepts about network topologies and computer communication. 1️⃣ Bus Topology and Multipoint Connections Question: Does a bus topology require a multipoint connection? Why or why not? 💡 Tip for readers: Think about how multiple devices share a single cable. 2️⃣ Keyboard and Computer Communication Question: Is the communication between a computer and a keyboard half-duplex , full-duplex , or simplex ? Explain your answer. 💡 Hint: Consider which direction the data flows and whether it can be simultaneous. 3️⃣ Cabling in Different Topologies Question: In a network of 25 PCs , which topology— bus, star, mesh, or ring —requires the most cabling? Why? 💡 Hint: Some topologies need every device to connect to every other device. 4️⃣ Mesh Topology Cable Calculation Question: How do you calculate the number of cables required in a full mesh topology ? For example, how many cables would 25 PCs ne...
