Bus Topology: Advantages, Disadvantages, and How it Works
Bus Topology Bus topology is a type of network topology in which all the devices are connected to a single shared communication medium called a "bus." In this topology, all devices share the same communication channel, and data is transmitted in both directions between any two devices on the network. In a bus topology, a single cable, known as the "backbone," serves as the communication medium for all devices. Each device is connected to the backbone using a T-connector, which splits the signal and allows it to travel in both directions. The T-connector is connected to the device's network interface card (NIC), which enables communication between the device and the backbone. How Bus Topology Works? In a bus topology, all devices on the network are connected to a single communication channel called a "bus." The bus is a shared cable that carries data between all the devices connected to it. The backbone cable runs through all the devices on the network,...
