- Topologies
- BUS
- Disadvantages
- Because there is only one cable supplying all of the computers, the transmission of data is slow going backwards and forwards
- Performance of the network slows down when there are more users
- If cable fails, computers from that point will not work
- Advantages
- If one computer breaks others will work
- Easy to add on other workstations
- Disadvantages
- RING
- Advantages
- Network not dependent on central computer
- Each computer has the same access as the others so no one computer can hog the network
- Disadvantages
- Impossible to keep network running whilst equipment is added/removed as only one path for data to follow
- Advantages
- STAR
- Advantages
- Fault Tolerant: If one cable fails, then the other computers can still be used
- Easy to add extra computers without disturbing network
- Disadvantages
- Higher cost: large amount of cabling is expensive
- Dependence on central server
