Answer:

So here is your answer

Explanation:

A bus topology consists of a single cable with the terminator at each end. All present nodes are connected to the single cable. There is no limit to the no: of nodes that can be attached to this network, but the no: of connected nodes can actually affect the performance of the network.

In a bus topology, one of the nodes acts as the server and transmits the data from one end to the other in a single direction. When the data reaches the extreme end, the terminator removes the data from the line.

In a bus topology, one main cable acts as the backbone for the ENTIRE network. The bus topology carries the transmitted data along the cable. As the data reaches each node, the node checks the destination address (MAC/IP address) to see if it matches their address. If the address doesn’t match, the node does nothing more. But if the node addresses match to the address contained in the data then they process on the information.

The Backbone cable in the bus topology depends on the TYPE of network card used in each computer, an RJ-45 network cable or coaxial cable is used to connect them together.

The FOLLOWING sections contain both the advantages and disadvantages of using a bus topology in a network.

Characteristics of Bus Topology :-

• Flexible
• Expandable
• Moderate Reliability
• Moderate performance

Advantages of Bus Topology :-

1. Easy to connect or remove devices in a network without affecting any other device.
2. In case of any computer or device failure, there will be no effect on other devices or network.
3. Cable cost is LESS as compared to other network topology i.e. mesh and star.
4. It is easy to UNDERSTAND topology.
5. Easy to expand by joining two cables together

Hope this may help you a lot❣️!!
