Can someone explain bus topology in a simple way so that a 6th grader will understand?
The bus is like the streets in a busy city and the cars are like the data. You can think of the lanes of the streets as being the channels on the bus. Each car has a specific destination and how they get to that destination is determined by the stop lights which are like the gates on the bus. The goal in the city is to have all the cars get to their destination as quickly as possible without hitting each other and the same is true on the bus. We want the data to get to its destination as quickly as possible without getting mixed up with other data. Good Luck!
