Detailed explanation-1: -Star topologies provide an inherent advantage that a new site can be added with ease; only the central site will have to be updated. In star topology, the central site plays an important role; if it fails, all the connections will go down. Performance of the central hub dictates the performance of the connection.
Detailed explanation-2: -They benefit in terms of low latency between the hub and remote nodes. But lacks in terms of connection where if any one of the nodes gets disturbed or goes down the entire nodes on the same network gets disturbed. A star topology is mainly deployed in areas such as corporate offices, schools, and homes.
Detailed explanation-3: -Tree topology is a popular network architecture that is commonly used in large organizations, businesses, and other institutions. It offers several advantages such as scalability, hierarchical structure, improved performance, and reduced costs.
Detailed explanation-4: -The star topology reduces the impact of a transmission line failure by independently connecting each host to the hub. Each host may thus communicate with all others by transmitting to, and receiving from, the hub.
