Cards in this deck (5)
- 1What are the advantages of a Bus topology?Advantages:
easy to set up and
cheap. - 2What are the disadvantages of a Bus topology?Disadvantages:
problems with the back bone can bring the whole network down,
limited distance can be covered and
many data collisions slow the network down. - 3What are the advantages and disadvantages of ring topology?Advantages:
Very fast - no collisions
Disadvantages:
Problems with the backbone can bring the whole network down
Data passes through every node - this makes the network vulnerable to malfunctions. - 4What are the advantages of a star topology?Advantages:
robust - problems with a connection do not affect the whole network also
fewer data collisions than bus so faster. - 5What are the disadvantages of a star topology?Disadvantages:
needs more expertise to maintain and
can be expensive to set up because more building work involved and more network hardware and software needed.
