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.


Which LAN topology involves the network cable forming a single bus to which every workstation is attached?

The LAN topology that involves the network cable forming a single bus to which every workstation is attached is called the bus topology. In this setup, all devices share a single communication line, and data travels in both directions along the bus. The main advantage of bus topology is its simplicity and ease of installation, but it can be prone to collisions and performance issues as more devices are added. Additionally, if the main cable fails, the entire network goes down.

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.
