Networks

1. Topologies

   • Ring
     • All networked computers are connected together in a circle called a ring topology. This is fast because, unlike with a bus newtork, all data travels one way down the cable. The disadvantag is that if the one cable breaks, all the computers will not work.
   • Bus
     • Bus networks join all computers to one big cable called the backbone. They are very cheap and easy to install, but if the backbone breaks, the whole network is unavailable. This network is not suitable for large LANs because too many computer can slow down the nwtwork.
