NETWORK TOPOLOGY

1. Star Network

   • Diagram
   • Definition
     • A data or communication network in which all nodes are independently connected to one central unit.
   • Advantages
     • Easy to install and wire. No disruptions to the network when connecting or removing devices. Easy to detect faults and to remove parts.
   • Disadvantages
     • Requires more cable length than a linear topology. If the hub, switch, or concentrator fails, nodes attached are disabled. More expensive than linear bus topologies because of the cost of the hubs, etc.

2. Mesh
