Network Topology
- Bus
- Disadvantages
- If there are many nodes, Network slows down
- Data collisions can happen
- Low security
- Limited cable lenght
- If there is a problem in main cable the entire network fails
- If there are many nodes, Network slows down
- Advantages
- Easy to install
- Easy to add extra nodes
- Uses less cable than star networks
- Best choice for temporary networks
- Easy to install
- Disadvantages
- Ring
- Disadvantages
- If a one device is turned off the network fails
- If a cable breaks the network stops working
- Data goes though EVERY device meaning data is slower than other network layouts
- If there is a problem in the network it is hard to identify the cause
- If a one device is turned off the network fails
- Advantages
- All data travels in one direction meaning transmission is simple
- No data collisions
- Devices can be added easily without the network slowing down
- All data travels in one direction meaning transmission is simple
- Disadvantages
- Star
- Disadvantages
- Costs the most money out all of the networks
- If the server crashes no-one can use the network
- Extra hardware may be needed
- Normally need experts to set-up the network
- Costs the most money out all of the networks
- Advantages
- Star network is the most reliable
- Good security
- Little data collisions due to each device has its own cable to the server
- Star network is the most reliable
- Disadvantages
