Sure, the machines have to be connected somehow. A star topology is quite common.

What is multipoint topology?

In a multipoint topology the hub can send to one or more systems based on an address. Frame Relay is the most common technology to implement this scheme, and it is typically used as a WAN technology. All the remote connection points are connected to a single Frame Relay switch or router port, and communication between sites is managed by that central point. In hub and spoke, all spokes or only one spoke hears a given transmission. In point to multipoint, any number of remote stations can be accessed.


Discuss the consequences if a connection fails in a bus topology?

Any connection failure in a bus topology will result in the network becoming unusable due to signal bounce in the affected cable.


What is the topology used in peer-to-peer network?

Any topology can be used for a peer-to-peer network. The easiest is probably a star topology but it doesn't have to be.


What are the properties of topology in point-set topology?

In point-set topology, the properties of the set S are:X and ∅ belongs to the set S.The intersection of any subsets belongs to the set S.The union of any subsets belongs to the set S.For instance:Let τ = {X,∅}. Then, it's the topology. We call that the trivial or discrete topology. If the set is indiscrete topology, then it contains infinitely many elements!


When planning a new network the administrator is interested in a physical topology that is used more often than any other which topology is the administrator considering?

star topology


Topology represents a collision-free environment?

This is false, topology does not have any representation in the environment. Topology is a study of mathematical shapes and spaces. It focuses on their constant deformations.


Why is star bus topology good?

Star topology is good because in star topology if any computer has some problem then all computer not disturb and continue their working


What was the advantage of replacing a physical bus topology with a physical star topology using hubs?

The advantage is in fault detection; in a bus topology any break in any wire segment would cause the entire LAN to fail. With a star topology, a break in any wire segment only affects the one client connected to the network.


What is the function of bus topology?

The bus topology is one of the four main topology types for networking. It allows systems to be connected in a straight line without any other network connectivity devices. As a result, it is easy to construct and needs very little in the way of configuration, and is inexpensive compared to other topologies. The main result of any topology is to connect clients together in order to share resources.


Do victaulic fittings require a lubricant?

Yes , it is required, any water base lubricant on the gasket inside the fitting is required before final connection.


What type of topogy is required for use with a 100base-tx network?

star network + guide to networks pg 105 Whoever answered that is a fool. Edition number? Yeah, guess you forgot. I have edition 5 here and that answer is not on page 105 or close to it either.


Difference between star and mesh topology?

1.The star topology use a hub in the center, only one hub. So all data exchange will go throught that one hub/router to reach another computer .If the hub is down, all the network is down too. In a mesh topology, each computer in the network has its own hub/or itself, so data exchange is done directly from one computer/or its hub, to another computer/or its hub, this is more secure since only one computer will be down in a case of problem with the interface(hub/itself[network card]) 2. Star topology has minimal line cost because only n-1 lines are required for connecting n nodes while mesh topology is the most expensive network from the point of view of link cost.If there are n nodes in a network. n(n-1)/2 links are required. Hence, cost of linking the system grows with square of the number of nodes. 3.In star topology communication is not very fast between any two nodes while in mesh topology communication is very fast between any two nodes.
