A star network uses a central server to route data between clients.

The central server (or the switching hub) switches data around the network. Data flow between the server and the nodes will therefore be relatively low. A typical star network are mainframe computers.

Star topology, also known as star network, is a computer network topology. It is a common network setup where the computers and other devices on the network are connected to a central or master computer, also known as the hub.

Star Topology is the most common type of network topology that is used in homes and offices. In the Star Topology there is a central connection point called the hub which is a computer hub or sometimes just a switch. In a Star Network the best advantage is when there is a failure in cable then only one computer might get affected and not the entire network.
