Discuss working of bus network topology?
Answers
Answer:
Bus topology uses one main cable to which all nodes are directly connected.
Explanation:
Ethernet - Ethernet is the least expensive high-speed LAN alternative. It transmits and receives data at a speed of 10 million bits per second. Data transferred between wiring closets using either a heavy coaxial cable (thick net) or fiber optic cable. Thicknet coaxial still used for medium-long distances where medium levels of reliability are needed. Fiber goes farther and has more excellent reliability but a higher cost. To connect several workstations within the same room, a light-duty coaxial cable called thin net commonly used. These other media reflect an older view of workstation computers in a laboratory environment. The figure shows the scheme of Ethernet where a sender transmits a modulated carrier wave that propagates from the sender toward both ends of the cable.
Ethernet was first designed and installed by Xerox Corporation at its Palo Atto Research Center (PARe) in the mid-1970. In the year 1980, DEC Intel and Xerox came out with a joint specification which has become the de facto standard. Ethernet from this period is often called DIX after its corporate sponsors Digital, Intel, and Xerox. Ethernet as the most popular protocol for LAN technology.
