What is another word for star topology?
Pronunciation: [stˈɑː təpˈɒləd͡ʒi] (IPA) 
Star topology is a common network topology in which all nodes are connected to a central hub or switch. This topology is also known as a "hub and spoke" or "centralized" topology, as all data flows through the central point. Another term used to refer to star topology is "treetopology," as the network resembles a tree with branches stemming from a central trunk. It is also referred to as a "single-point topology" because all nodes are connected to a single central point. In contrast, a "mesh topology" has multiple connected points, while a "ring topology" has a circular arrangement of nodes. Regardless of the term used, star topology remains popular due to its simplicity and ease of management.
