-A bus network consists of a single central cable (backbone / trunk), to which all computers and others devices connect (node).
| Advantages |
Disadvantages |
| -Failure of one device usually does not affect the rest of the bus network. |
-A break in the backbone (single central cable) will prevent all systems from accessing the network. |
| -Computers and other devices can be attached and detached at any point on the bus without disturbing the rest of the bus network. |
-It is difficult to identify the problem if the entire network shut down. |
