                                            1. ring network
                                              1. Sends one data packet one way round to the correct nodes. However it cannot go the opposite way in a ring network.
                                                1. The ring nwtwork is the cheeper and easiest to set up out of the three networks.
                                                2. If one nodes is removed from the network then the whole network will break down because it cant pass the gap between the node that is broken.
                                              2. Network topologies
                                                1. Bus network
                                                  1. Advantages
                                                    1. If one node breaks the system will still work as if the node didn't break
                                                    2. Disadvantages
                                                  2. Custom Written
                                                    1. Advantages
                                                      1. If there is any bugs with it the user can tell the people who made it that there is something wrong with it.
