The SPOKE hub distribution concept is used in the STAR topology in a computer network. Each host in a star network is linked to a CENTRAL hub. In its most basic form, a single hub serves as a message ROUTE. One of the most frequent computer network topologies is the star network.

Some of the benefits of star topology are as follows:

• It is simple to examine, set up, and change the star topology.
• The only nodes that have failed are those that have been affected. Other nodes are still operational.
• With a small number of nodes and little network traffic, high performance can be achieved.
• Adding, uninstalling, and transferring devices is simple in a Star topology.

Some of the drawbacks of star topology are as follows:

• The linked nodes are disabled if the Hub or concentrator fails.
• The expense of setting up a star topology is significant.
• Buses may experience significant delays due to heavy network load.
• The Hub's capacity determines performance.
• A damaged cable or a lack of adequate termination could bring the network offline.
