The star topology is on of most common wired network topologies. In a star topology of
computers are connected to a switch or hub and the information must go thru the switch
before reaching any other computers. Other computers will continue to communicate
with each other if one of the computers fails. On the other hand, if the switch fails, then
all computers will fail to communicate with each other. The ring topology does not use a
switch or hub. All computers are wired to each other without a switch or hub. If one
