Network topology refers how devices are arranged in a communication network. There are various topologies associated with wired and wireless networks and this research paper will focus on the performance evaluation of star topology over tree in both wired and wireless networks. Besides that, other factors include the size of the network in different network types and topologies are discussed over here. NetSim simulation tool is used for evaluating the performance of wired and wireless topologies. As a result, the review claims are proven to be true, wireless networks outperformed wired networks and star topologies had displayed better performances compare to tree topologies.
