Advantages of star topology :
 It is a good opinion for modern network
 It is easy to manage
 More scalable than a peer to peer networ
 Easy to install and wiring
 Low network traffic
 It is easy to modify and also have to add a
a star network device
 Less cabling is needed then mesh topolog
 During adding or deleting a node network
normally act
 Less expensive than mesh topology
 Easy to fault identification and to remove
 Only one single computer failure does not
bring down the whole star network
 Installation and configuration are easy
 Robustness
 No disruption to the network when conne
removing part
 Provide for centralized monitoring and ma
network
 The alternative is there to change the por
 Most popular topology in use, a wide vari

Disadvantages of star topology :
 It's created for a single point for failure
 There is no route redundancy
 More cable required
 More expensive
 If hub fails the whole system will fail
 Cable installation more difficult
 Extra hardware required

 Characterstics
 Each node is connected to every other node in the
network.
 There is no single point of failure.
 The network is very resilient.
 It is expensive to implement because each node needs
to be connected to every other node in the network.
 It can be difficult to configure and manage because of
the large number of connections.
 Mesh Topology is usually implemented as backbone
connecting the main PC’s of a hybrid n/w that include
several other topologies.

tree topology, you can do it by extending Star Net
connected to the main Backbone Cable.
