Working of Hybrid Topology

• Hybrid topology in computer networks is a combination of more than one topology.
• This hybrid topology makes use of standards such as Wi-Fi and Ethernet for performing its different operations.
• The functioning of hybrid topology depends upon various types of hybrid routers used such as switches and hubs as they can easily connect the devices that are connected over wired or wireless networks.
• The hybrid topology has different network branches and each branch as its own unique design.
• The functioning takes place by gaining various benefits of the both of the different topologies used.

A hybrid topology is defined as a network topology that combines two or more different network topologies. A hybrid topology can be a combination of bus topology, ring topology and mesh topology. The selection of different types of network topologies combined together depends upon the number of computers, their location, and the required performance. In the hybrid topology network sections consist of a configuration of different types of network topologies. The structure of hybrid topology is more complex but offers various advantages such as flexibility and fault tolerance.
