The topology of a network: defines the shape in which a network is connected
You should understand how information moves within the topology, because you will see other technologies that use these topologies (most are relevant in networking today)
The topology is a schematic of the overall network
Besides the topology of our network, sections of our network are defined by functional type such as local area network (LAN) and wide area network (WAN)
The new emerging technology called the Internet of Things (IoT) is becoming the responsibility of the network administrators.
There are several networking technologies that you must understand to support IoT devices.
