Network Topologys

Network Topologys

1. Bus/Line Networking

   • Advantages
     • It is the cheapest and easiest to install, as it uses only a relatively short length of cable
     • New nodes can easily be added without disrupting the rest of the network
   • Disadvantages
     • If the bus fails the whole network fails
     • As more workstations are added, performance degrades as all data travels along the same bus

2. Ring Networking

   • Advantages
