In networking, topology refers to the layout of a computer network. ... Physical topology means the placement of the elements of the network, including the location of the devices or the layout of the cables. Logical topology maps the flow of data, regardless of the physical layout.
In computer networks, there are mainly two types of topologies, they are: Physical Topology: A physical topology describes the way in which the computers or nodes are connected with each other in a computer network. ... Logical Topology: A logical topology describes the way, data flow from one computer to another.
This delay in routers is what we called Packetization delay
or also called Accumulation delay. Packetization delay is the time required for
the information to pass on the wires. The data rate of the links that passes
thru the wires cause the delay.
