Answer» A bus network is a network topology in which nodes are directly connected to a common linear half-duplex link called a bus topology A ring network is a network topology in which each node connects to exactly two other nodes, forming a single continuous pathway for signals through each node - a ring. Data travels from node to node, with each node along the way handling every packet. Astar topologyis atopologyfor a Local AreaNetwork(LAN) in which all nodes are individually connected to a central connection point, like a hub or a switch. Astartakes more cable than e.g. a bus, but the benefit is that if a cable fails, only one node will be brought down. |
