Resource summary
Network Topologies
Bus
Pros
Cost - effective
Less cabling required
Quick to set up
Easy to implement and
Cons
Difficult to troubleshoot
Performance degrade as additions computers are added
If there is a problem with the connection, the entire network goes down
Low security
Data collisions are more likely
Proper termination is required
Star
Special Hardware Involved
Hub
Pros
Fast network speed
Easy to set up
Possible to add more computer systems without taking the network down
Any non-centralised failure will have very little effect on the network
Minimal network collisions
Better security
Cons
Expensive to install
Extra hardware to install
Ring
Pros
Data is quickly transferred without a bottleneck
Consistent transfer speeeds
Transmission of data is simple
Adding additional nodes has very little impact on the bandwith
Prevents network collisions
Cons
Difficult to troubleshoot
To add another node, the network must be shut down temporarily
If any of the CS's fail, the ring is broken and data cannot be transferred efficiently
If there is a problem with the connection, the entire network goes down
