LAN Topologies (Physical)
Star-Wired Bus Topology

 
  • Groups of nodes are connected to hubs wich are then networked on a single bus

  • Used to cover longer distances

  • Also used to interconnect, or isolate, different network segments

  • Expensive, requires more cable and more hubs

  • Modern Ethernet, and its faster cousins, are set up using this topology
