Question

Differentiate between Bus Topology and Tree Topology.

Answer 1

S. No.	Bus Topology	Tree Topology
1.	Every node in a bus architecture is connected to a single cable, referred to as the backbone.	The nodes of a tree topology are arranged in a tree-like fashion.
2.	Bus topology has very little security.	High security is offered by tree topology.
3.	In terms of complexity, the bus topology is the most straightforward.	When compared to bus topology, tree topology is much more difficult to understand.
4.	Line topology is another name for bus topology.	Hierarchical topology is another name for tree topology.
5.	Due to the utilization of a single continuous wire, bus topology is significantly less expensive.	Due to its extensive wiring, tree topology is costly.
6.	Due to its ease of installation, bus topology is typically appropriate for LANs.	For WAN, tree topology is utilized.
