Star Network / Topology
In this type of network,all computers are connected with
central device which is called as hub.
This type of topology is mostly used in Client Server
Models.
In order for a computer to share its data with other
computers in the network,it first sends its data to the hub.
The hub will then subsequently send the data to the other
computers/receiving computers.
Thus the hub acts as a central connection point and each
computer in a star topology communicates with the central hub.
Advantages:
1.It is easy to find and troubleshoot faults and errors
incase one arises in this type of network.
2.Failure of one computer will not cause the entire network
to collapse.
3.It Is easy to add or remove computers without disturbing
the network.
Disadvantages:
1.If the central hub fails,the entire network will fail.
2.Overall it is an
expensive network.
3.A large amount of cable is neee for connecting the
computers.
