There are many different types of network topologies. To which network are you referring?

A network topology is the pattern of links connecting pairs of nodes of a network. It's the shape of a LAN or other communications system. A given node has one or more links to others, and the links can appear in a variety of different shapes. The simplest connection is a one-way link between two devices. A second return link can be added for two-way communication. Modern communications cables usually include more than one wire in order to facilitate this, although very simple bus-based networks have two-way communication on a single wire.
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.

Star topology,bus topology,ring topology are some of the topologies
used in networking.

I think the most commonly used one today would be the star topology, i believe it's most practical in general. IMO.

Token Ring, Bus, Star...
What application is this for?
