Question

State any two advantages of bus topology.

Answer 1

• A bus network setup operates at a much higher speed compared to several other network configurations.
• Devices can transmit data directly to one another without needing a central controlling server or hub.
• The layout is highly adaptable and can be expanded with secondary branches to create a tree topology.
• If a single device (node) malfunctions, it does not disrupt the connection or data flow between the remaining devices on the network.
• This structural design is highly popular and frequently utilised in extensive Local Area Networks (LANs).
