Q35: What is bus Topology?
A35: With a bus topology,all stations are attached to the same cable.The
most popular networks using a bus topology are 10BASE2 and 10BASE5 Ethernet.Arcnet
can also run on a bus topology.
Advantages: A bus requires less cable because you only need enough to
chain the stations together.There is no central point of failure on a
bus because there's no hub.
Disadvantages: However,a bus can be even more vulnerable to failure than
a star because any problem impacts the entire network.A bus can make troubleshooting
difficult for the same reason.
