What is Bus Topology?
Bus topology carries transmitted data through the cable because data reaches each node, the node checks the destination address (MAC/IP address) to determine if it matches their address. If the address does not match with the node, the node does nothing more. But if the addresses of nodes match to addresses contained within the data then they process knowledge. In the bus, communication between nodes is done through a foremost network cable.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Bus Topology
In computer network there are various topologies available. A Bus Topology is one of them. All of the devices in a bus topology network are linked together by a single cable, which is referred to as a “bus” and the cable is known as backbone cable. All of the network’s devices can simultaneously receive the same signal due to the shared communication medium provided by this connection. In this article, we are going to discuss what is bus topology and its various applications, advantages, and disadvantages.
