Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Single Point of Failure − The central cable, or bus, in a bus topology acts as a single point of failure. If the cable is damaged or otherwise fails, the entire network will be down. This makes bus topology less reliable than other network configurations.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Star Topology (Hierarchical) All cables run to a central connection point. If one cable breaks or fails, only the computer that is connected to that cable is unable to use the network.
Detailed explanation-3: -Advantages of Mesh Topology Mesh network is the most stable and reliable topology. Mesh networks are resistant to failure because of the large degree of interconnectivity. There’s no single point of failure.
