- "BUS" NETWORK TOPOLOGY
- NODES ARE CONNECTED TO A CENTRAL CABLE, CALLED A "BACKBONE", WHICH RUNS THE LENGTH OF THE NETWORK.
- "MESH" NETWORK TOPOLOGY
- EACH WORKSTATION CONNECTS DIRECTLY TO THE SERVER AND ALL OTHER WORKSTATIONS, CREATING A MESS, OF NETWORK CONNECTIONS.
- "RING" NETWORK TOPOLOGY
- THE PRIMARY NETWORK CABE IS INSTALLED AS A LOOP, OR RING, AND THE WORKSTATIONS ARE ATTACHED TO THE PRIMARY CABLE AT POINTS ON THE RING.

- ETHERNET IS BY FAR THE MOST POPULAR NETWORKING TECHNOLOGY IN EXISTENCE FOR LANS TODAY. ETHERNET NETWORKS ARE BY DEFINITION BUILT ON A BUS TOPOLOGY THAT OPERATES ON BASEBAND RATES OF 10 MBPS, 100 MBPS, OR 1,000 MBPS (1 GBPS). HOWEVER, ETHERNET IS IMPLEMENT
- REREAD.
- STAR-BUS TOPOLOGY
- A VERY COMMON IMPLEMENTATION FOR ETHERNET NETWORKS. A HUB OR SWITCH IS USED AS THE CENTRAL OR CLUSTERING DEVICE THAT IS THEN ATTACHED TO THE NETWORK BACKBONE. THIS IS THE MOST COMMON TOPOLOGY OF ETHERNET NETWORKS.
- STAR-RING TOPOLOGY
- USED WITH RING (TOKEN RING) NETWORKS. A SPECIAL TYPE OF HUB, CALLED A MULTISTATION ACCESS UNIT (MSAU), IS USED TO CLUSTER WORKSTATIONS AND TO CONNECT THE NEXT MSAU ON THE NETWORK TO COMPLETE THE RING. THE STAR-RING IS THE MOST COMMON FORM OF RING NETWORKS
- TOPOLOGY
- THE PHYSICAL LAYOUT OF THE COMPUTER, OTHER NODES, AND THE CABLING OF THE NETWORK.
