Data transmission : Topology

This video tutorial introduces the concepts of physical and logical network topologies. It explains the differences between them, focusing on how physical topology involves the layout of devices and cabling, while logical topology defines the data paths. Various topology types such as bus, ring, star, and mesh are discussed, highlighting their physical implementations and logical behaviors. The importance of understanding both topologies for network design, throughput, reliability, and scalability is emphasized.
