Bus topology is a network type in which every computer and network device is connected to
single cable. When it has exactly two endpoints, then it is called Linear Bus topology.
Features of Bus Topology
1.It transmits data only in one direction.
2.Every device is connected to a single cable
3. Easy to expand joining two cables together.
Disadvantages of Bus Topology
1.Cables fails then whole network fails.
2.If network traffic is heavy or nodes are
more the performance of the network
decreases.
3.Cable has a limited length
It is called ring topology because it forms a ring as each computer is connected to another
computer, with the last one connected to the first. Exactly two neighbours for each device.
Advantages of Ring Topology
1.Transmitting network is not affected
by high traffic or by adding more
nodes, as only the nodes having
tokens can transmit data.
2.Cheap to install and expand
Disadvantages of RingTopology
1.Troubleshooting is difficult in ring
topology.
2Adding or deleting the computers
disturbs the network activity.
3.Failure of one computer disturbs
the whole network.
 In this type of topology all the computers are connected to a single hub through a cable. This
hub is the central node and all others nodes are connected to the central node.
Features of StarTopology
1.Every node has its own dedicated
connection to the hub.
2.Hub acts as a repeater for data flow.
3 .Can be used with twisted pair, Optical
Fibre or coaxial cable
Disadvantages of StarTopology
1.Cost of installation is high.
2.Expensive to use.
3.If the hub fails then the whole network
is stopped because all the nodes
depend on the hub.
 It is a point-to-point connection to other nodes or devices. All the network nodes are
connected to each other. Mesh has n(n-1)/2 physical channels to link n devices.
Advantages of MeshTopology
1.Each connection can carry its own
data load.
2.It is robust.
3.Fault is diagnosed easily.
4.Provides security and privacy.
Disadvantages of MeshTopology
1.Installation and configuration is
difficult.
2.Cabling cost is more.
3.Bulk wiring is required.
 It has a root node and all other nodes are connected to it forming a hierarchy. It is also
called hierarchical topology. It should at least have three levels to the hierarchy.
Advantages ofTreeTopology
1.Extension of bus and star topologies.
2.Expansion of nodes is possible and easy.
3.Easily managed and maintained.
Disadvantages ofTreeTopology
1.Heavily cabled.
2.Costly.
3.If more nodes are added maintenance is
difficult.
4.Central hub fails, network fails.
 It is two different types of topologies which is a mixture of two or more topologies.
For example if in an office in one department ring topology is used and in another star
topology is used, connecting these topologies will result in Hybrid Topology (ring
topology and star topology).
Features of Hybrid Topology
 It is a combination of two or topologies
 Inherits the advantages and disadvantages of the topologies included.
Advantages of Hybrid Topology
 Reliable as Error detecting and trouble shooting is easy.
 Effective.
 Scalable as size can be increased easily.
 Flexible.
Disadvantages of Hybrid Topology
 Complex in design.
 Costly.
