Topologies by Nicolas https://padlet.com/Nicolauze/NetworkTopologies Details on the different arrangement for computer networks en-us 2016-03-02 08:54:00 UTC 2017-05-17 10:48:01 UTC hello@padlet.com https://media.licdn.com/mpr/mpr/p/5/005/092/360/0246334.jpg Bus Network Nicolauze https://padlet.com/Nicolauze/NetworkTopologies/wish/98399547 A Bus Network is a type of LAN network arrangement where each device (node) is connected to a main cable.

There is a terminator on each end of the bus network. This stops any no-longer needed information from running back down the network. This means that most of the time, only necessary information is being passed through the network so it increases the efficiency of the network and it prevents the signals bouncing back and forth]]> 2016-03-02 08:55:28 UTC https://padlet.com/Nicolauze/NetworkTopologies/wish/98399547 Advantages https://padlet.com/Nicolauze/NetworkTopologies/wish/98399851
  • Easy to install
  • Easy to connect computers to the network at any time, and anywhere on the network
  • Cheap to install - requires less cable than a star topology
  • If one computer on the network fails, no issues are caused for anyone else

  • If one wire fails, the whole network will fail
  • The more computers are added to the network, the slower data will be sent across it
  • A bus network may not work well if the nodes are located at scattered points that do not lie near a common line.
  • All computers on the network have access to all the data on it, which could be a security risk

    All information on the network goes through the hub or switch, this then manages all the data transported around the network. Each node has it's own individual cable connecting it to the hub or switch.]]>     2016-03-02 11:02:29 UTC https://padlet.com/Nicolauze/NetworkTopologies/wish/98420015     Nicolauze https://padlet.com/Nicolauze/NetworkTopologies/wish/98420673 2016-03-02 11:07:57 UTC https://padlet.com/Nicolauze/NetworkTopologies/wish/98420673 Advantages Nicolauze https://padlet.com/Nicolauze/NetworkTopologies/wish/98421625
  • If one computer on the network fails, no issues are caused for anyone else
  • There are no data collisions so high performance

  • If the hub/switch fails then the whole network will fail
  • Cost - More hardware is needed (hub/switch)
  • Uses a lost of cable which adds to cost
