Star topology
Star topology |
Star topology also is another example of dedicated point-to-point link which link to a central controller(hub).
Unlike mesh topology ,star topology does not allow direct traffic between devices. The Hub act as an exchange:if one device wants to send data to another it sends the data to the controller/hub ,which then relays the data to the other connected device.
Advantage
- easy to install and reconfigure.
- robustness.Wont effect the system if one of the link is fails.
- Easy fault identification and fault isolation.
Disadvantage
- dependency of whole topology on one single point,the hub.
- more cable need compare to others topology like bus and ring.
Star topology is usually using in Local-area network (LAN)
