If five devices arranged in a mesh topology so we will have 10 links and 4 I/O ports in each hardware device. If any link goes down from them so it will be easy to find out which one is down and it won't effect on other links. But a bulk of wires and can create problem in re-installation and re-configuration.
the rest of the network is unaffected but if a channel fails then the whole network fails.
Bus runs in a straight line from one network device to another. So if one gets disconnect then the all the devices connected down the line get disconnect. Star runs to a central device like a switch, so if the switch itself fails then the whole network will be disconnected. Ring is like a bus except it connects back onto itself. So if one device fails they all fail. The exception is if there is a redundant inside ring like that used in FDDI (fiber ring) then if both get disconnect from one device then they all do. Mesh is high redundancy. Only one device would be disconnected if all the connections were to fail for that device. You can have many connections to other devices thats why its less likely to fail. The only cause for failure at this point is really the power and if you just don't have any. Even if one of the connections between two devices fail there is no effect on network and they can still communicate through other channels
Computer
if any computer fails it doesn't affect the entire system
yes
No, within a bus topology, the client PC's are indepentent of each other. So if PC 1 fails, PC 2 will still be connected to the server. But, PC 2 won't be able to get data/information from PC 1.
siddhi sawant hi i am not sure but its ring topoloy
A star network is often the best choice for a library due to its centralized structure and ease of management. This setup allows for efficient communication between all devices and ensures that if one connection fails, it does not impact the entire network. Additionally, it is easier to troubleshoot and expand as needed.
If the server dies, the computers get unseen for each other. It isn't a good idea in every situation to leave the whole network to only 1 computer, because if it ets an error, your network is dead.
In a star topology, each device connects to a central network connectivity device such as a hub, switch, or router. These devices would be connected as a "star" (points on a star). The other characteristic of a star topology is that a failing connection will only affect the failed device unless that device is the connectivity device. This means that in most cases a failing device on a star will not take down the entire network. Another characteristic of a star is that they are easily expandable and scalable.
Ring protection is a system where multiplexers are connected in a ring topology. If a single span fails traffic switches around the other side of the ring.
