Star network
1. Most common
2. Centre of star can be a hub or a switch.
3. Many star networks can be connected together to form large network.
4. Very "robust" as failures are likely to affect only one terminal unless the failure is on the spine
Bus network
1. All terminals connected to a "bus" cable.
2. Bus has to be terminated at each end to ensure no data reflections and hence data crashes
3. Weaknesses of this system:
- Bus carries all data traffic and so is primary factor affecting performance
- If a fault develops on the bus cable all workstations connected will develop communication problems
Ring network
