Abstract	In recent days, the significance and popularity of distributed computer systems have increased, offering high-performance capabilities at a reduced cost. The arrangement of autonomous computers in a distributed computing environment is facilitated through a communication network, organized in a geometrical shape referred to as network topology. This paper presents a comprehensive examination and analysis of various network topologies. Definitions for both Physical and Logical Topologies are also included. An introduction to Computer Network Topology is presented in this paper, accompanied by the provision of definitions for Physical and Logical Topologies. Furthermore, common realizations of Physical Topologies in Computer Networks are reviewed. Subsequently, the relationship between Graph Theory and topological analysis is explored. Following this, examples of analysis are discussed, placing emphasis on message routing concerns, network sizing, and virus analysis. These examples are examined to highlight the significance of topological design in the construction of a new computer network or the expansion of an existing one.
