Questions and Answers

What is a common advantage of star topology?

  • Minimal use of cables
  • Fast data transfer speed
  • Low risk of network failure
  • Centralized Management (correct)

In a ring topology, what happens to data packets?

  • They directly flow from source to destination
  • They travel in both directions around the ring
  • They are stored at each node
  • They are regenerated at each network device (correct)

Why does ring topology perform better than bus topology under increased network load?

  • Additional components improve performance
  • Less complexity in the network structure
  • Each node has a direct connection to the central hub
  • Data packets do not need to pass through all computers (correct)
