Tree Topology
The topology of a tree is similar to that of a star. Nodes in a tree, like those in a star, are connected to a central hub that manages network traffic. It has a root node, which is connected to all other nodes, producing a hierarchy. Hierarchical topology is another name for it. The number of Star networks is connected via Bus in Tree Topology.
Advantages
- Network expansion is both possible and simple.
- We partition the entire network into pieces (star networks) that are easier to manage and maintain.
- Other segments are unaffected if one segment is damaged.
Disadvantages
- Tree topology relies largely on the main bus cable because of its basic structure, and if it fails, the entire network is handicapped.
- Maintenance becomes more challenging when more nodes and segments are added.

What is Computer Networking?
Computer networking is like having a group of friends who all have phones and can call or text each other. In computer networking, instead of phones, we have computers and instead of phone lines, we use cables, Wi-Fi, or other methods to connect them. When computers are connected to a network, they can share information and resources, like files, printers, and internet connections. This allows them to communicate with each other quickly and easily, just like friends talking on their phones.
A computer network consists of various kinds of nodes. Servers, networking hardware, personal computers, and other specialized or general-purpose hosts can all be nodes in a computer network. Hostnames and network addresses are used to identify them. In this article, we are going to discuss computer networking in detail.
