Ring Topology

Bus topology is a specific kind of network topology in which all of the various devices in the network are connected to a circular data path.

There are two types of Bus Topology according to data flow:

• Unidirectional: A Unidirectional ring topology handles data traffic in either clockwise or anticlockwise direction. This data network, thus, can also be called as a half-duplex network.

Example:Telivision,Youtube videos etc. 

• Bidirectional: A Bidirectional ring topology handles data traffic in both on clockwise or anticlockwise direction. This data network, thus, can also be called as a full-duplex network.

Example: Mobile phones,Whatsapp etc .

Advantages for Ring Topology: 

• Does not require server.
• Cable  affects limited users.
• Acts better in heavy network load.
• Each node has access to token and opportunity to transmit.

Disadvantages for Ring Topology: 

• In Unidirectional Ring, a data packet must pass through all the nodes.
• Single point of failure, that means if a node goes down entire network goes down.
•  Adding moving or removing nodes Affects the network.
• Wiring is costly and network adapter cards are requirds.

• Star topology 
• Tree topology 
• Hybrid topology
