Describe the star-ring topology.

What will be an ideal response?


Today, ring networks are typically designed in the physical layout of a star and called the star-ring hybrid topology or the star-wired ring topology. There is a hub or access unit that acts as a linking device that replicates transmission of the signal from node to node using the logical communications of a ring. To each computer, the communications appear as though they are in a ring. Because communications are in a ring, there is no need for built-in terminators as used in the star-bus hybrid configuration.
