Topologys & IOT
Wired Network Topologys and Internet of Things
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Bus Topology | Uses a single cable where each device taps into by using either a vampire tap or a T-connector |
Ring Topology | Uses a cable running in a circular loop where each device connects to the ring but data travels in a singular direction |
Token Ring | Ring topology that uses an electronic token to prevent collisions when communicating on the network |
Star Topology | Most popular physical LAN topology where devices connect to a single point (If central device fails, all others fail) |
Hub & Spoke Topology | Similar to star but with WAN links instead of LAN connections and it is used for connecting multiple sites |
Full-Mesh Topology | Optimal routing is always available as every node connects to every other node(x=n(n-1)/2) |
Partial-Mesh Topology | Hybrid of the full-mesh and the hub & spoke topology |
802.11 | Wireless networks that can operate in infrastructure or ad hoc modes |
Bluetooth | Low energy use variant of Bluetooth which allows for a mesh network |
Radio-Frequency Identification(RFID) | Uses electromagnetic fields to read data stored in embedded tags |
Near-field communications(NFC) | Enables two devices to communicate within a 4-cm range |
Infrared(IR) | Operates with line of sight |
Z-wave | Provides short-ranged. low-latency data transfer with slower rates and less power consumption then Wi-Fi |
ANT+ | Collection and transfer of sensory data |
