Point-to-point Topology
Advantages
One link connects two nodes.
Disadvantages
Failure of one node disables another node.
Bus Topology
Advantages
Layout is simple because all devices are connected to a single cable.
The cost of this topology is less because a single cable is sufficient for layout.
Disadvantages
Entire network goes down due to cable failure.
High network traffic can reduce network performance.
It can be used only for smaller networks.
No two ways simultaneous data transmission.
Ring Topology
Advantages
Use of token-based protocols reduces the risk of packet collisions.
