Advantages of a Linear Bus Topology
Easy to connect a computer or peripheral to a linear bus.
Requires less cable length than a star topology.
Disadvantages of a Linear Bus Topology
Entire network shuts down if there is a break in the main cable.
Terminators are required at both ends of the backbone cable.
Difficult to identify the problem if the entire network shuts down.
Not meant to be used as a stand-alone solution in a large building.

advantages
Advantages of bus topology. It works well when you have a small network. It's the easiest network topology for connecting computers or peripherals in a linear fashion. It requires less cable length than a star topology.
Disadvantages of bus topology
It can be difficult to identify the problems if the whole network goes down.It can be hard to troubleshoot individual device issues.Bus topology is not great for large networks.Terminators are required for both ends of the main cable.Additional devices slow the network down.If a main cable is damaged, the network fails or splits into two.
