Star Topology
All computers in star topology are connected with central device
called hub. It is mostly use in client server networks.
Working of star topology:
The sending computer sends the data to hub. The hub send the data
to receiving computer. Each computer in star topology communicate with hub.
Advantages:
- It is easy to maintain and modify network.
- Adding or removing computers can be done without disturbing the network.
- Finding faults becomes very simple.
- Single computer failure does not bring down the hole network.
- It is more flexible than other topology.
Disadvantages:
- If central hub fails, the entire network breaks down
- It requires a large length of cable to connect computers.
- It is more expensive.
