Write one advantage and disadvantage each of the following topologies.
1. Bus topology
2. Ring topology
3. Star topology
4.Mesh topology
Answers
Answer:
(1) Advantages and disadvantages of a bus network
if the main cable fails or gets damaged the whole network will fail.
as more workstations are connected the performance of the network will become slower because of data collisions.
Explanation:
(2) Reduced chances of data collision as each node release a data packet after receiving the token.
Token passing makes ring topology perform better than bus topology under heavy traffic.
No need of server to control connectivity among the nodes.
Equal access to the resources.
(3) Advantages and disadvantages of a star network
it is expensive to install as this type of network uses the most cable (network cable is expensive)
extra hardware is required (hubs or switches) which adds to cost.
if a hub or switch fails, all the devices connected to it will have no network connection. fully connected mesh topology has all the nodes connected to every other node.
...
(4) Disadvantages of mesh topology:
Installation and configuration are difficult if the connectivity gets more.
Cabling cost is more and the most in case of a fully connected mesh topology.
Bulk wiring is required.
