What is the differences between ring topology and star topology?

Answer 1

in bus topology computers are connected with each other by a wire in a approximately strait manner..and if one computer stops working the whole network will stop. while in star topology every computer is connected with the host computer & much wire is require..and if any client computer tops working it will not effect the whole network.----ravi singh chauhan...7275974787

Answer 2

Bus Topology and Star Topology are methods of making a computer network.Bus Topology has a structure of a straight line,and uses no switch for connectivity of computer.Star topology can be given any shape and is not connected directly,but the computers are connected with each other by using a switch.

Answer 3

Star topology network is different than the Ring topology because computers are connected to a hub with a star topolgy. A hub is a specialized type of hardware that receives data transmissions and routes them to the proper destination. Star networks are easy to install and update because all nodes are connected directly to the hub. A ring topolgy, each node is connected to two other nodes creating a ring. A ring topology is more reliable than the bus and star because if one node fails, thenetwork administrator or specialized network hardware can route data around the failing node.Ring networks, however, are relatively expensive and somewhat difficult to install.

Answer 4

my point of veiw star is the small network topololgy and tree topology use in big network, two and more then two star topology make a tree topology, all most every where use this type topologly

Answer 5

There are number of LAN technologies and each technology is classified into a category according to its topology , two such topologies are star and bus topologies . In star topology ,The hub accepts data from a sender and delivers it to receiver, there is no security in star topology . In Bus topology all system are connected to a single , long cable.

Answer 6

ring topology is more reliable than star topology.

ring topology it messages passes from node to node than star topology passas messages directly from node to the central computer.
