Question

How is tree topology different from bus topology?

Answer 1

Basis of Difference	Tree Topology	Bus Topology
Structure	A hierarchical arrangement of branches; it combines multiple star networks with a bus backbone.	All nodes connect to one shared backbone cable.
Expansion	Supports expansion by adding branches or star segments.	Nodes are added directly to the common bus.
Data path	Data travels through the hierarchical network, using bus-style transmission.	Data is broadcast along the shared cable.
Effect of backbone failure	Failure of a main part of the backbone can disrupt connected branches.	Failure of the backbone can make the entire network unusable.
