Answer:
ring network
Explanation:
In a ring network, the nodes are arranged in a circular pattern where each node is connected to two adjacent nodes. In this topology, any node can communicate with any other node via the intermediaries.
In comparison,
- in a star network every communication needs to pass through a central hub node
- in a bus, each node is connected to a shared linear communication bus.
- in a hierarchical network nodes are organized along a tree structure layout.
