what type of topology is a telecom closet ?

Topology As in network topology. The geometric physical or electrical configuration describing a local communication net-work; the shape or arrangement of a system. The most common topologies are the bus, ring and star.\n\nInsulation Displacement Connection (IDC) A type of wire termination in which the wire is "punched down" into a metal holder which cuts into the insulation wire and makes contact with the conductor, thus causing the electrical connection to be made.\n\nIDF Intermediate Distribution Frame. A metal rack designed to connect cables and located in an equipment room or closet. Consists of components that provide the connection between inter-building cabling and the intra-building cabling, i.e. between the Main Distribution Frame (MDF) and individual phone wiring. There’s usually a permanent, large cable running between the MDF and IDF. The changes in wiring are done at the IDF. This saves confusion in wiring.\n\nHome Run Phone system wiring where the individual cables run from each phone directly back to the central switching equipment. Home run cabling can be thought of as "star" cabling. Every cable radiates out from the central equipment. All PBXs and virtually all key systems work on home run cabling. Some local area networks work on home run wiring. See also Star Wiring, Daisy Chain.\n\nDemarcation Point The point of interconnection between telephone company facilities and your building wiring. The demarcation point ("demarc") shall be located on the subscriber’s side of the telephone company’s protector, or the equivalent thereof in cases where a protector is not required.\n\nCrossconnect Distribution system equipment used to terminate and administer communication circuits. In a wire crossconnect, jumper wires or patch cords are used to make circuit connections. In an optical crossconnect fiber patch cords are used. The crossconnect is located in an equipment room, riser closet, or satellite closet.\n\nConnecting Block Also called a terminal block, a punch-down block, a quick-connect block, a crossconnect block. A plastic block containing metal wiring terminals to establish connections from one group of wires to another. Usually each wire can be connected to several other wires in a bus or common arrangement. There are several types of connecting blocks: 66 clip, BIX, Krone, 110, etc. A connecting block has insulation displacement connections (IDCs), which means you don’t have to remove insulation from around the wire conductor before you "punch it down" (terminate it).

This is a networking problem - look up 'Linear Bus', 'Star' or 'Hub', 'Token Ring' and 'Fully Connected Mesh'.\n\nYou need 21 for a fully connected topology, but you could do it with far less.

Backbone is not a type of topology. Backbone is part of a topology. Such as a Hybrid where you have multiple switches with multiple links to each other to form a mesh but you also have single switches with one link to those meshed switches giving you a star topology. The backbone would likely to be you fastest largest bandwidth pipe between high traffic devices, such as routers. The reliability is dependent on what the transport media is, fiber, copper, satellite, infared, wireless, or free space optics. Then you have to consider the maker of the goods, the operational conditions. Basically the question needs to be re done.

A network hub with both types of connection will do it. Probably cant get an actual hub, since most such devices are switches these days

a thig is a Topology Hiding Internetwork Gateway according to the link below. do your legs have thigs? that's so cool man, why would you ever want to loose them?

Hmm.. Although it wont make any apparent difference to the activity of your computer, I wont recommend it for long run .. Squashed and cramped cables will torn up sooner than they are expected to .. And as Murphy's law states "If anything can go wrong, It will go wrong" those wires will attract cobwebs or all other things like that .. \nI'll suggest you to organize them .. :)

Imagine this scenario...You have 3 computers and u want to connect them all and make a small network...how ur gonna do that...here comes hub into picture...Hub allows you to connect multiple computers to share a single network...and Switch is a bigger brother of Hub normally with 10 to 24 ports, and router is altogether different from hub or switch ...routers r used for Wide Area Connectivity....that is between different networks....Hope this solver ur prob buddy.

I found this article that might give you some suggestions:\n\nhttp://www.networkcomputing.com/showitem.jhtml?articleID=160910914&pgno=1\n\nplrr

Shielded twisted-pair (STP) cable, combines the techniques of shielding and the twisting of wires to further protect against signal degradation. Each pair of wires is wrapped in a metallic foil. The four pairs of wires are then wrapped in an overall metallic braid or foil, usually 150-ohm cable. Specified for use in Ethernet network installations, STP reduces electrical noise both within the cable (pair-to-pair coupling, or crosstalk) and from outside the cable (EMI and RFI). Token Ring network topology uses STP.

More than you have room for PC's in your house...\n\nThis totally depends on what kind of devices you will have and what protocols are in use. For most places, you communicate via IP. Again, most places have a private class c address, meaning that you can have 254 physical devices on the subnet. Now, devide this by the number of ports per switch (less one port for daisey chaining them) and this will give you the number of switches on your LAN.\n\nSo - too many variables - theoritical limit is millions - pratical is 8 (16 ports each).\n\nIf you are talking hub, then this goes way down due to probability of collisions. Switch eliminates this problem.

more details? are we talking layer 3 as in netowrk software??\n\nWe need more information!

Didn't you ask this same question yesterday?  If there were no standards, then parts wouldn't be interchangeable.  Also, for LAN standards, do a search on TCP/IP subnetting.

The loop was detected because the packets where leaving one port on the switch and coming back in on another.  If you are going to connect switches together, you have some options.  I dont recommend that you daisy chain because you will more than likely cause a bottleneck on cable that runs from switch to switch.  If the switch does not allow for them to be connected by the backplane (special connections in the back of the switch) then I would connected in hub and spoke model (like a tree).  You start with a root switch and plug the three switches into the root switch, one in each port.  As the root switch's ports are filled up, then you move down to the next layer and continue the same process.  Some switches allow for trunking so that you can actually combine several ports to create one "virtual" trunk line to carry the data.  That way you dont bottleneck on the port.\n\nMake sure you can turn on the Spanning Tree Protocol so that if you create a loop the future, the switch can automatically shut down one of the ports.  This is to prevent you network from comming down in the event of a loop.
