Write the advantages and disadvantage of Ring, Star and bus Topology
Ring Topology
Advantages of the Ring Topology
(i) The ring topology works well where there is no central-site computer system.
(ii) It is more reliable than a star topology.
Disadvantages of the Ring Topology
(i) The ring network requires more complicated control software.
(ii) Failure of one node results in the failure of the entire network.
Star topology
Advantages of the Star Topology
(i) Star topology has minimal line cost.
(ii) If any of the local computer fails, the remaining portion of the network remains unaffected.
Disadvantages of the Star Topology
(i) The system crucially depends on the central switch. If it fails, the entire network goes down.
Bus topology
Advantages of the Bus Topology
(i) It is quite easy to set up.
(ii) Failure of one node does not affect the rest of the network.
Disadvantages of the Bus Topology
(i) It offers limited flexibility for change.
(i) A signal on the bus must be strong enough to reach the receiver.
