Explanation
In a star topology, all end devices (computers, printers, phones) connect to a central device - typically a switch or router. This is the standard layout in SOHO (Small Office/Home Office) environments because it is easy to manage, troubleshoot, and expand. A failure in one cable only affects that one device. Mesh topology requires every device to connect to every other device (impractical for SOHO). Bus topology uses a single shared cable (legacy). Hybrid topologies combine multiple types and are more common in large enterprise networks.
