Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What Advantage Does A Bus Have Over A Ring?
A
It uses less cabling
B
It’s cheaper to operate
C
If one computer fails, the network keeps working
D
Every node, server, client or device is inter connected
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -One of the main advantage of bus topology is that it is simple and inexpensive to implement, as only a single cable is needed to connect all devices. The main disadvantage is that if the bus cable fails, the entire network goes down.

Detailed explanation-2: -One of the benefits of bus networks is the ease of connecting devices onto the network, which generally requires less cabling than a star topology, for instance. Also, failure of a node does not impact the rest of the network. On the downside, a network cable failure shuts down the entire network.

Detailed explanation-3: -Some important features of ring topology: Since only one device has a network charge, and only two devices are allowed to communicate simultaneously, the use of tokens prohibits the chance of collisions or cross-communication in it.

Detailed explanation-4: -A failure of the main bus cable will bring the whole network to a stop. However, if there is a break or failure in the cable that connects a single device to the bus, it will affect just this device; the rest of the network will carry on working.

Detailed explanation-5: -Low Cost βˆ’ Bus topology is relatively inexpensive to implement. The central cable, or bus, is relatively inexpensive, and the devices are also relatively inexpensive. Easy to Expand βˆ’ Bus topology is easy to expand. Easy to Troubleshoot βˆ’ Bus topology is easy to troubleshoot. 27-Jan-2023
