Networks
Bus, Star and Round
Bus Networks
Advantages: Easy to install, cheap to install, as it doesn’t require much cable.
Disadvantages: If the main cable fails or gets damaged the whole network will fail,as more workstations are connected the performance of the network will become slower because of data collisions
Star Networks
Advantages: If one cable or device fails then all the others will continue to work, high performing as no data collisions can occur.
Disadvantages: Expensive to install as this type of network uses the most cable, if a hub or switch fails all the devices connected to it will have no network connection.
