Question

which is the most efficient type of topology?white its advantages.
answer in short upto 5 or 7 lines of notebook

Answer 1

Explanation:

A Star Network Topology is best suited for smaller networks and works efficiently when there is limited number of nodes. One has to ensure that the hub or the central node is always working and extra security features should be added to the hub because it s the heart of the network.

Advantages of Bus Topology

1. It is easy to set up, handle, and implement.
2. It is best-suited for small networks.
3. It costs very less.

Disadvantages of Bus Topology

1. The cable length is limited. This limits the number of network nodes that can be connected.
2. This network topology can perform well only for a limited number of nodes. When the number of devices connected to the bus increases, the efficiency decreases.
3. It is suitable for networks with low traffic. High traffic increases load on the bus, and the network efficiency drops.
4. It is heavily dependent on the central bus. A fault in the bus leads to network failure.
5. It is not easy to isolate faults in the network nodes.
6. Each device on the network “sees” all the data being transmitted, thus posing a security risk.
