here i attach some information about computer science since i am computer science's student... hope this information useful... ^_^
Bus Network Topology
Bus Network Topology.
Bus networks share a common connection that extends to all devices.
This network topology is used in small networks, and it is simple to
understand. Every computer and network device connects to the same
cable, so if the cable fails, the whole network is down, but the cost of
setting up the network is reasonable.This type of networking is
cost effective. However, the connecting cable has a limited length, and
the network is slower than a ring network.
Ring Network Topology
Ring Network Topology.
Each device in a ring network is attached to two other devices, and
the last device connects to the first to form a circular network. Each
message travels through the ring in one direction—clockwise or
counterclockwise—through the shared link. Ring topology that involves a
large number of connected devices requires repeaters. If the connection
cable or one device fails in a ring network, the whole network fails.Although ring networks are faster than bus networks, they are more difficult to troubleshoot.
Star Network Topology
Star Network Topology.
A star topology typically uses a network hub
or switch and is common in-home networks. Every device has its own
connection to the hub. The performance of a star network depends on the
hub. If the hub fails, the network is down for all connected devices.
The performance of the attached devices is usually high because there
are usually fewer devices connected in star topology that in other types
of networks.A star network is easy to set up and easy to
troubleshoot. The cost of setup is higher than for bus and ring network
topology, but if one attached device fails, the other connected devices
are unaffected.
