| Type
Of Network |
Advantages |
Disadvantages |
⚛ BUS
TOPOLOGY
⤑ Physical
: A
bus network consists of a Single
Central Cable (backbone/trunk), to which all computers and
other devices connect (node).
⤑ Logical
: It
transmit data, instructions
and information as a series of signal in both directions.
|
- Failure of one device usually does not affect
the rest of the bus Network
- Bus network are inexpensive and easy to install
|
- The network will be malfunctioned if the single
central cable breaks down. If more computers are connected, the
performance of the network will become slower because of data collision
|
⚛ RING
TOPOLOGY
⤑ Physical
: A
cable forms a closed loop (ring) with all computers
and devices arranged along the ring.
⤑ Logical
: Better
text me take Chavez from device to device around the entire ring in one
direction (clockwise or counterclockwise) until it reaches its
destination by using token.
|
- All computers have equals access to the
resources in the network
- Cable faults are easily located, making
troubleshooting easier
|
- The network will be malfunction if the devices
(pc/devices) breaks down
- Data packets must pass through every computers
therefore this makes it slower
|
⚛ STAR
TOPOLOGY
⤑ Physical
: All
the computers and devices on the network connect to a central
device which is hub or switch, thus forming a star.
⤑ Logical
: Data,
instructions and information's transfer from one node to another node
passes through hub or switch.
|
- Devices can be added to or remove from Network
with little or no disruption
- Easy to troubleshoot and isolate problem
|
- The network will be malfunction is the hub or
switch breaks down
- Requires more Cable than most of the other
topologies
