Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The bus topology is also known as linear bus. In other words, all the nodes (computers and servers) are connected to the single cable (called bus), by the help of interface connectors. This central cable is the back bone of the network and every workstation communicates with the other device through this bus.
Detailed explanation-2: -Terminators are used in bus topology.
Detailed explanation-3: -A bus topology consists of one long cable with terminators at either end. All the nodes on the network are then connected to this cable by their own separate cable. They are often used when there are only a few computers, or if cost and expertise are limiting factors.
