Cards in this deck (4)
- 1—Advantages:
- Robust, problems with a connection do not affect the whole network.
- Fewer data collisions than bus so faster.
Disadvantages:
- Needs more expertise to maintain.
- Can be expensive to set up because more building work involved and more network hardware and software needed - 2—Advantages:
- Easy to set up.
- Cheap.
Disadvantages:
- Problems with the back bone can bring the whole network down.
- Limited distance can be covered.
- Many data collisions slow the network down.
- 3—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
- 4—Advantages:
- A broken node won’t distract the transmission of data.
- Each node is connected to several other nodes.
- Broken device will be ignored by the signals.
- Additional devices in a mesh topology will not affect its network connection.
A mesh topology can handle high amount of network traffic.
Disadvantages:
- Maintaining mesh networks can be very hard to manage.
- It may be expensive
