Bus topology

BUS topology uses a common base to connect all network devices on a network in a linear fashion. TV functions only as a means of communication common to all devices connected to this interface cable connector. Device that wishes to send a message broadcast to all devices connected to common cable, but only recipient actually accepts and processes this message.


Ethernet bus topologies are easy to install and require only very basic and the cable is generally used for the cable communication network. 10Base-2 and 10BaseT two popular types of Ethernet cables used in bus topology. In addition, the bus network operates with very small devices. Performance problems can arise in bus topology, if there are more than 12-15 teams added to the bus network. Moreover, if backbone cable fails, then the entire network becomes useless and there is no communication between all teams. Unlike the star topology, which, if a user is disconnected from a network, then there is an effect on other computers on the network
