What is linear bus network topology?
The bus topology has all its nodes connected directly to one link, and has no other connections between nodes. Each host is wired to a common wire. One advantage of this topology is that all hosts are connected to each other, and thus can communicate directly. One disadvantage of this topology is that a break in the cable disconnects hosts from each other. 24. What is ring network topology? A ring topology is a single closed ring consisting of nodes and links, with each node connected to only two adjacent nodes. The topology shows all devices wired directly to each other in what is called a daisy-chain. 25. Are the rings of a dual-ring network topology connected? The two rings are not connected. A dual-ring topology is the same as a ring topology, except that a second, redundant ring connects the same devices. 49 – 239 Engineering Journal and Workbook, Vol. I, 2nd Ed. .
