Analisis Pengaruh Topologi Jaringan terhadap Kecepatan Data

Abstract

Network topology is one of the fundamental factors influencing the performance of data communication systems in a computer network. This study aims to analyze the impact of various network topologies on data speed, including bus, ring, star, tree, and mesh topologies. The main parameters evaluated include throughput, latency, and data transfer efficiency under various network load scenarios. The research methodology involves simulations using network software to measure the performance of each topology under both ideal and non-ideal conditions, such as disturbances or an increased number of nodes. The findings reveal that the star topology offers high data speed in small to medium-scale networks, while the mesh topology excels in fault tolerance and performance in large networks. Conversely, the bus and ring topologies demonstrate limitations in scenarios with high data traffic. This study is expected to serve as a reference for selecting the optimal topology according to network needs and scale, thereby improving overall data communication efficiency.
