Bus Topology in Network
over 9 years ago
Bus Topology
A bus topology is like a serial transmission where all the nodes are connected in a single medium.
In case of Bus topology, all devices share single communication line or cable.Bus topology may have problem while multiple hosts sending data at the same time.
Systems connect to this backbone using T connectors or taps.
To avoid signal reflection, a physical bus topology requires that each end of the physical bus be terminated.
The most common implementation of a linear bus is the IEEE 802.3 standard. Table 2 summarizes the advantages and disadvantages of the bus topology.
Advantages
Disadvantages
Compared to other topologies, a bus is cheap and easy to implement.
There might be network disruption when computers are added or removed.
Requires less cable than other topologies.
Because all systems on the network connect to a single backbone, a break in the cable will prevent all systems from accessing the network.
Does not use any specialized network equipment.
Difficult to troubleshoot
