What happens in a bus network?
What happens in a bus network? A bus network is a local area network (LAN) topology in which each node -- a workstation or other device -- is connected to a main cable or link called a bus. All connected stations on the bus can communicate with all others on the singular network segment. A bus network topology is simple and reliable.
What are 3 disadvantages of a bus network?
Disadvantages of Bus Topology :
- Bus topology is not great for large networks.
- Identification of problems becomes difficult if the whole network goes down.
- Troubleshooting individual device issues is very hard.
- Need terminators are required at both ends of the main cable.
- Additional devices slow the network down.
