Any network that uses a switch or router, but not a hub, to centrally and physically connect the nodes on the network. It is a physical star, but logically, the nodes communicate as a bus, e.g., each node communicates only with the switch to which it is connected; it is up to the switch to pass the information along another bus connection to another node. A hub, on the other hand, is both physically and logically a star, because all nodes connect to the central bus and the communication path is radiated from one node via the hub to all other nodes. Star-wired bus should not be confused with a star-bus hybrid, which is a network made up of multiple stars, each one connected to the next via a bus.
