 MCSE INFO - NL@DeadCooldown's place win 2000 notes
In a star topology, signals are transmitted from the computer, through the hub, to all computers on the network.
In the star-ring topology, the computers are connected to a central component as in a star network.
For example, you may want to combine a star with a bus topology to benefit from the advantages of each.

 ARCnet installation
The Combined Star and Bus Topology Network refers to the network layout using the low-impedance and high- impedance ARCnet network cards on the same network.
While the ARCnet has been designed for maximum flexibility and ease of installation, the installation rules for a star topology network layout using low-impedance network cards must be borne in mind and are detailed below:
To install a combined star and bus topology network, you should have the combinations of hardware requirements for star and bus networks as described previously.

 Network Topology
The topology this documentation deals with most is star topology since that is what ethernet networks use.
There are also hybrid networks including a star-bus hybrid, star-ring network, and mesh networks with connections between various computers on the network.
The network operating system uses a network data protocol to communicate on the network to other computers.

 Network topology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For example, a tree network connected to a tree network is still a tree network, but two star networks connected together (known as extended star) exhibit hybrid network topologies.
Real example =- spanning tree: http://map.efnet.org/ -- Live map of the topology of EFnet, the traditional IRC network
Network topology is determined only by the configuration of connections between nodes; it is therefore a part of graph theory.

 The PC Technology Guide
For example, a 10BaseT network's use of a hub effectively transforms a standard bus topology to a "star-wired bus" topology.
10BaseT Ethernet uses a star topology, generally with a computer being located at one end of the segment, and the other end being terminated with a hub.
A star topology is a LAN architecture in which the endpoints on a network are connected to a common central hub, or switch, by dedicated links.

 Lesson 3: Network Topology
To determine which type of topology would be most appropriate for your site, add up the number of bus selections with check marks next to them, the number of star-bus selections with check marks next to them, and the number of star-ring selections with check marks next to them.
This topology originated in the early days of computing when computers were connected to a centralized mainframe computer.
The bus topology is often referred to as a "linear bus" because the computers are connected in a straight line.

 COMMUNICATIONS Network Topology
A hierarchical network (or a tree network) resembles a star network in that several computers are connected to a central host computer (usually a mainframe).
In the topology, one or more computers usually become switching centers, interlinking computers with others.
Networks can be classified by their topology, which is the basic geometric arrangement of the network.

 Network Topologies, which network topology ? a look at the different networking topologies
Star topologies are very common, especially in Ethernet networks, also, they are commonly mixed with one of the other topologies to create a hybrid topology.
A physical Star topology connects the devices via a centralised unit such as a Hub or Switch.
A network topology refers to either the physical or logical layout of a network installation.

 Network topology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The star topology reduces the chance of network failure by connecting all of the systems to a central node.
Network topology is determined only by the configuration of connections between nodes; it is therefore a part of graph theory.
Distances between nodes, physical interconnections, transmission rates, and/or signal types are not a matter of network topology, although they may be affected by it in an actual physical network.

 Network Topologies
For example, Ethernet networks can be laid out in a Bus, Star, or Tree topology, or any combination of the three.
A star topology is completely different from either a Bus or a Ring.
The simplest topology to understand is the Bus.

 What ethernet technology/topology are there? - Overclock.net - Overclocking.net
This combination network configuration, which uses a logical bus for data delivery but is wired as a physical star, is an example of a star bus topology.
In a star topology, a hub passes all data that flows to it to every device connected to it.
Physically, a Token Ring network is arranged in a star topology, because each node connects to a centralized device and not to other nodes in the network.

 Ring network - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A ring network is a topology of computer networks where each node is connected to two other nodes, so as to create a ring.
Ring networks tend to be inefficient when compared to star networks because data must travel through more points before reaching its destination.
For example, if a given ring network has eight computers on it, to get from computer one to computer four, data must travel from computer one, through computers two and three, and to its destination at computer four.

 Star network - definition of Star network in Encyclopedia
A computer network with a star network topology, in its simplest form, consists of one central, or hub computer which acts as a router to transmit messages between connected computers by a store-and-forward or switching system.
A hierarchical extension of the star topology allows each node connected by a hub to in turn play the role of a hub for a disjoint set of leaf nodes.

 NOVELL: Novell's Networking Primer
However, the star topology and its derivatives are also susceptible to bottlenecking and single-point failure; the latter is often remedied by providing a redundant backup of the hub node.
In the logical star topology, network switches are used to restrict transmissions to a specific part of the transmission medium.
A more complex form of the physical bus topology is the distributed bus.

 NETWORK TOPOLOGY Star Topology
A star topology is one in which a central unit provides a link through which a group of smaller computers and devices is connected.
Star networks represent a very popular form of configuration for time-sharing systems in which a central computer makes available resources and databases for several "client" computers to share.
The disadvantage of the star network is that a processing problem in the central computer can be paralyzing to the entire system.

 IT Architect Topologies February 1, 1990
Because cable connects these scattered computing resources together into a network, your network's topology is also a function of the way in which the cabling is organized, whether it is arrayed in a bus, ring, or star, which are the three basic physical topologies available to LAN designers (see Figure 1).
The star topology is ideal for wide area network (WAN) applications in which outlying offices must communicate with a central office.
At its basic level, the topology of a network refers to the way in which all of its pieces have been connected.

 Topology
The physical topology is how the computers and peripheral are connected and how the cable is run between them, in other words the way the network looks.
Network topology refers to the way in which the connections within the network are made.
It is possible to have a physical star and a logical ring or a physical star and a logical bus and so forth.

 Network topologies
A star physical topology is often used to implement a bus or ring logical topology.
The path the data takes among the nodes and through that hub (the logical topology) depends on the design of the hub, the design of the cabling, and the hardware and software configuration of the nodes.
Another way to think about this distinction is that a physical topology defines the way the network looks, and a logical topology defines the way the data passes among the nodes.
