What is the common network of bus topology?

The common network of bus topology is a network where clients are connected through cables called a bus. You can learn more about this at the Wikipedia. Once on the website, type "Bus network" into the search field at the top of the page and press enter to bring up the information.


What are advantages of a bus network topology?

Ease of operation Reliability Low Cost


What is purpose of terminator on bus topology?

In a bus topology, the purpose of a terminator is to absorb signals at both ends of the bus cable, preventing them from bouncing back and causing network interference. Without terminators, signals could reflect back along the bus, leading to data collisions and communication errors. By ensuring proper signal termination, terminators help maintain the integrity of data transmission across the network.


What is a key features of a bus topology?

A key feature of a bus topology is that all devices are connected to a single central cable, known as the bus, which transmits data between them. This setup allows for easy installation and requires less cabling compared to other topologies. However, if the main cable fails, the entire network goes down, making it less reliable. Additionally, performance can degrade with an increasing number of devices due to data collisions.


What are the protocols used in a bus topology?

In a bus topology, data transmission typically uses protocols such as Ethernet, specifically the Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) protocol. This protocol allows devices to detect when the bus is free and transmit data while monitoring for collisions. If a collision occurs, devices stop transmitting and wait for a random time before attempting to resend. Other protocols, like Token Ring, can also be adapted for bus topologies, but CSMA/CD is the most common.
