Topology
Bus Topology all the nodes in the network are connected directly to a central cable that runs up and down the network - this cable is known as the backbone. Data is sent up and down the backbone until it reaches the correct node.
-
Advantages
-
Less cabling is needed compared to a star topology, making it cheaper to install
-
Bus Topologies are not widely used in modern networking as they are not well suited to dealing with large amounts of data. They are used when a small, cheap and often temporary network is needed that does not rely on very high data transfer speeds.
Star Topology all nodes indirectly connect to each other through one or more switches. The switch acts as a central point through which all communications are passed. Large networks using a star topology are usually controlled be one or more servers. Even though no single computer controls the network, all communications still pass through the central switch.
-
Star Topologies are used in many networks, large and small. Star Topologies tend to be found in large organisations where high performance is a must.
Advantages
Each node is separately connected, therefore a failure of one node or its link - transmission media - does not affect any other nodes.
