Advantage and Disadvantage of Network Topology
 

Advantages


  1. Failure of one device usually does not affect the rest of the bus network. (Bus Network)
  2. All computers have equals access to the resources in the network. (Ring Network)
  3. If one device (pc/printer) fails, only that device is affected. (Star Network)


Disadvantages
  1. A break in the backbone (single central cable) will prevent all systems from accessing the network. (Bus Network)
  2. A failure in any cable or device breaks the loop and can take down the etire network. (Ring Network)
  3. If the hub or switch fails, the entire network will be malfunction. (Star Network)
