    A bus or line topology connects multiple computers in a line using a single cable, which allows for easy data collisions and breaks the entire network if the cable fails. A ring topology improves on bus by establishing a one-way path between nodes to reduce collisions, but the entire network still fails if a single computer fails. A star topology is the most efficient as it connects each node to a central hub, minimizing collisions while keeping segments independent so failure of one node does not impact the whole network.

    NETWORK TOPOLOGY

    BUS OR LINE
    • Has one common linking cable
    A bus or line topology is when • Nodes connected off the cable
    multiple computers are connected
    • Relatively cheap
    in a line by one cable. This isn’t
    great as it is very easy for data • Slows down with a lot of transmissions at once
    collisions to occur and cable • Data collisions
    breaks affect all the nodes.
    • Breakages on cable affect all computers
    • Limited distance
    RING
    A ring topology is slightly better than a
    bus topology, but still not brilliant.
    There are considerably less data
    collisions as there is a one way travel
    path. However, of one computer fails,
    all the others still will fail.

    • One common linking cable


    • Passes all nodes
    • One direction
    • Fast performance
    • If one node fails the whole network fails
    STAR
    Star topology is the most efficient
    type of topology. It is quick, has
    limited data collisions and the
    network doesn’t rely on ever single
    computer working.
    • Shared link to servers
    • Most common type of network topology
    • Few data collisions
    • Fast
    • Can set up independent segments
    • Hub can be another node, switch etc…
