Tree topology

Tree topology is a specific kind of network topology in which all of the various devices in the network are connected to a Central Hub or from there root node,It should atleast have three levels of hierarchy.

• It used in wide area network.
• Ideal if workstations are located in groups.

Advantages of Tree topology:

• Easy to add and remove nodes.
• It can be use for large networks.
• Extension of bus and star topologies.
• Easily managed and maintained.
• Root node act as server.

Disadvantages of Tree Topology:

• Huge cabling is needed.
• Costly due to there cabling.
• A lot of maintenance is needed.
• If herirchy is increased then maintinance cost will also high
• Backbone forms the point of failure.

• Bus topology 
• Mesh topology
• Ring topology
• Star topology 
• Hybrid topology
• Network Topology
