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

  1. easy to install and reconfigure.
  2. robustness.Wont effect the system if one of the link is fails.
  3. Easy fault identification and fault isolation.

Disadvantage

  1. dependency of whole topology on one single point,the hub.
  2. more cable need compare to others topology like bus and ring.
Star topology is usually using in Local-area network (LAN)
