1.2. DISADVANTAGE:

1.2.1. If the main cable breaks, the entire network fails.

2. Star Topology

2.1. ADVANTAGE:

2.1.1. Easy to add new devices to the network.

2.2. DISADVANTAGE:

2.2.1. If the hub fails, the whole network fails.

3. Ring Topology

3.1. ADVANTAGE:

3.1.1. Easy to detect failures.

3.2. DISADVANTAGE:

3.2.1. Difficult to add new devices to the network.

4. Mesh Topology

4.1. ADVANTAGE:
