Star shaped network

In a topology of star shaped network , the computers of the network are connected to a central material system called concentrator (in English hub, literally hub of wheel). This one has as a role to ensure the communication between the various junctions.

Advantages:

  • possibility of the addition of the nodes easily;
  • facilitated localization of the breakdowns;
  • disconnection of a connection does not paralyze the remainder of the network.

Disadvantages:

  • more expensive than a network with bus topology (purchase of concentrators, cables);
  • if the concentrator is defective all the network breaks down.
