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: -Advantages of bus topology : It is flexible and scalable. It is very simple and easy to install. Require less cable length than a star topology. It is less expensive.
Detailed explanation-3: -Cost-effective method of setup: Bus topology involves much less cost for implementation as compared to other types of hybrid networks. The reason is that the required cable length is less than the other network options. In the case of a small network, bus topology is the easiest and affordable solution.
