Network Topologies (Bus,Ring,Star)
By Lewis Waller
Why is it good to use?
The bus network is good to use as it is a simple way of transferring all the data from one computer to another. The star network is a good network to use because even if one of the computers lose connection it can still go through to the other ones. The ring network is good to use because it is a simple but effective way of passing data through itself
Bus Topology
Advantages and Disadvantages:
1. A terminator is fitted at the end of each cable so it stops signals reflecting back down the bus
2. Easy to install
3. If the main cable fails then the whole thing will fail
4. Every workstation on the network can see all of the data on the network – this is a security risk
