Hybrid Topologies :-
It is important to note it is typical for networks to implement a mixture of topologies to from a hybrid topology. For example, a very popular hybrid topology is a star-bus topology, in which a number of Star topologies are connected by a central bus, as shown in Figure 1-10. This is a popular topology because the bus will connect hubs that are spread over distance.
Another very popular hybrid topology is the star-ring topology. The star-rung topology is popular because it looks like a star but acts as a ring. For example, there is network architecture known as Token Ring (more on this later, in the section "Network Architectures") that uses a central "hub" type device, but the internal wiring makes a ring. Physically it looks like a star, but logically it acts as a ring topology.
