mhat is Topology?

The way devices on the network are

physically connected is known as topology.
or
The physical layout or the way in which
network connections are made is called a
topology.

 Bus Topology

In bus topology, all computers or network

nodes are connected to a common
communication medium. This medium is a
central wire called a ³bus´.
 morking of Bus Topology
 If one computer wants to send the data to
another computer in the network, it sends
the a  a a   aa via the

 This data a address move from one end of
the network to the other.
 Each computer checks this address a if it
matches with this computer, the computer
keeps the data.  
the data moves to the next computer.

Communication on the bus topology occurs
in the following manner

 Sending the signal

 Signal bounce back

 Terminators
Sending Signal
 rata is sent to all of the computers on the
network
 Transmission of data is bi-directional
 Information is accepted only by the computer
whose address matches
 Only one computer can send data on the cable at
a time
 mhile two computers are communicating, all
other computers remain in wait.
Signal Bounce
 If the signals were allowed to continue, it
would keep bouncing back and forth along
the cable and stop other computers from
sending signals.
 Backing of the signals is called bounce
back.
Terminators
 To stop the signals from bouncing,
terminator is placed at each end of the
cable to absorb free signals.
 Absorbing the signal clears the cable, so
that other computers can send data.
 Terminators are used to avoid collisions.
Bus topology uses coaxial cable as a 2a2.
Advantages
 It is very simple, easy to use a reliable for
very small networks
 It is easy to install and configure
 Least amount of cable is required to
connect the computers so it is less
expensive
 It is easy to extend as two cables can be
joined to make a larger cable
risadvantages
 It can support only a small number of computers.
As the number of computers increases, the
network get slower.
 It is difficult to troubleshoot a bus. A cable break,
fault in any one computer or a loose connection
can breakdown the whole network.
 Each connector reduces the strength of the
electrical signal
