Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Failure of ring or device stops all communication: Since the communication depends upon the ring and also one device is connected with its two adjacent devices, therefore, a break in the ring or failure of any device or port may disable the entire communication.
Detailed explanation-2: -Network operation depends on the functioning of the central hub. Hence, central hub failure leads to failure of the entire network. Also, the number of nodes that can be added, depends on the capacity of the central hub. The setup cost is quite high.
