|
+ Very few data collisions on a ____ network compared with other network topologies (layouts)
|
|
Bus
|
|
|
Star
|
|
|
Ring
|
|
|
None of the above
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -With ring topologies, the risk of packet collisions is very low due to the use of token-based protocols, which only allow one station to transmit data at a given time.
Detailed explanation-2: -Star Topology Switches are intelligent devices that are able to send data packets to just the node that requires it, whereas a hub is passive, and just copies data packets to all ports it is connected to. High performing-tends to be faster than a bus network as there are fewer data collisions.
