Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which is a network where each computer is linked to the next, and the last is linked to the first??
A
Bus
B
Ring
C
Star
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In a ring network, every device has exactly two neighboring devices for communication purpose. It is called a ring topology as its formation is like a ring. In this topology, every computer is connected to another computer. Here, the last node is combined with a first one.

Detailed explanation-2: -Ring topology Nodes are connected in a circular pattern, and packets of information are sent through the ring until they reach their destination. Ring networks can outperform those based on the bus topology, and they can be easily reconfigured to add or remove devices.

Detailed explanation-3: -Star Topology could be defined as a network topology in which the nodes are connected to a central hub or router through which the data travels to all the nodes. Ring Topology is a type of network topology in which the nodes are connected to each other completely via dedicated link.

Detailed explanation-4: -Definition. A star topology is a network topology where each individual device of the network is attached to one central node whereas a ring topology is a network configuration in which device connections create a circular data path. Thus, this is the main difference between star and ring topology.

Detailed explanation-5: -In ring topology, the computers in the network are connected in a circular fashion, and the data travels in one direction. Each computer is directly connected to the next computer, forming a single pathway for signals through the network.
