Advantage and Disadvantage of Network Topology
Advantages
- Failure of one device usually does not affect the rest of the bus network. (Bus Network)
- All computers have equals access to the resources in the network. (Ring Network)
- If one device (pc/printer) fails, only that device is affected. (Star Network)
Disadvantages
- A break in the backbone (single central cable) will prevent all systems from accessing the network. (Bus Network)
- A failure in any cable or device breaks the loop and can take down the etire network. (Ring Network)
- If the hub or switch fails, the entire network will be malfunction. (Star Network)
