Types of Network Topology Network Topology is the schematic description of a network arrangement, connecting various nodes(sender and receiver) through lines of connection. BUS Topology Bus topology is a network type in which every computer and network device is connected to single cable. When it has exactly two endpoints, then it is called  Linear Bus topology . Features of Bus Topology It transmits data only in one direction. Every device is connected to a single cable Advantages of Bus Topology It is cost effective. Cable required is least compared to other network topology. Used in small networks. It is easy to understand. Easy to expand joining two cables together. Disadvantages of Bus Topology Cables fails then whole network fails. If network traffic is heavy or nodes are more the performance of the network decreases. Cable has a limited length. It is slower than the ring topology. RING Topology It is called ring topology because it forms...

    TYPES OF COMPUTER NETWORK   PAN (Personal Area Network) A  personal area network  ( PAN ) is a  computer network  for interconnecting devices centered on an individual person's workspace. A PAN provides  data transmission  amongst devices such as  computers ,  smartphones ,  tablets  and  personal digital assistants . PANs can be used for communication amongst the personal devices themselves, or for connecting to a higher level network and the Internet (an  uplink ) where one master device takes up the role as  gateway . A PAN may be carried over wired  computer buses  such as  USB .                                                                             Src: https:// ...
