Detailed explanation-1: -Smaller networks using this type of topology often use a coaxial or RJ45 cable to link devices together. Bus topology works well for smaller networks and keeps the layout extremely simple and easy to understand.
Detailed explanation-2: -Star topology gives much better performance because signals don’t necessarily get transmitted to all the workstations connected to the network. In a bus topology, any computer that is connected to a network will be able to see all the data transmissions on all the other computers. So there are no chances of security.
Detailed explanation-3: -Star topology is a type of network topology in which every device in the network is individually connected to a central node, known as the switch or hub. When represented visually, this topology resembles a star which gives it its name.
