Networks, (star) - Coggle Diagram

- - - - quick and easy to set up
        
        cost efficient
  - - - limited cable length performance degrades as more computers added
        
        problem with main connection system goes down
        
        low security
        
        proper termination is required
        
        data collisions more likely
- - - - data is quickly transferred without a bottleneck
        
        additional nodes have little impact on bandwidth
  - - - problem with main connection means entire network goes down
        
        difficult to troubleshoot
        
        nodes are wired together to add you must shut down the network
- - - - share data
        
        Easier for internal communication
        
        Easier to monitor
        
        Centralised backup
        
        Easier to monitor network activity
        
        centralised maintenance (manage network from one location)

- - - - Hackers can gain access to data more easily
        
        if servers down all computers are down
        
        cost of servers communication devices can be expensive
- - - - good performance/fast network speed
        
        easy to setup
        
        easy to add more computer systems without taking the network down
        
        failure of workstations will have no effect on the network
        
        minimal network collisions
  - - - extra hardware required such as a hub
