13. What is topology and describe ring bus and star?
Topology is the schematic arrangement of computer
1. Ring Topology:
Description: In a ring topology, each device is connected to exactly two other devices,
forming a closed loop or ring. Data travels in one direction along the ring.
Advantages:
Simple and easy to install.
Equal access to the network for all devices.
No central point of failure (if a device fails, it won't necessarily disrupt the entire
network).
Disadvantages:
If one device or connection fails, the entire network can be affected.
Difficult to reconfigure and add new devices.
Performance may degrade as more devices are added.
2. Bus Topology:
Description: In a bus topology, all devices share a single communication line or bus. Data
transmitted by one device is received by all devices, but each device recognizes its own
data.
Advantages:
Simple and inexpensive to implement.
Well-suited for small networks with limited traffic.
Easy to add or remove devices.
Disadvantages:
Performance can degrade as more devices are added or network traffic
increases.
If the main cable fails, the entire network can be affected.
Limited cable length and number of devices.
3. Star Topology:
Description: In a star topology, all devices are connected to a central hub or switch. Data
travels through the hub, and communication between devices occurs via the hub.
Advantages:
Easy to install and manage.
Fault isolation – if one cable or device fails, it doesn't necessarily affect the
entire network.
Well-suited for large networks with high traffic.
Disadvantages:
If the central hub or switch fails, the entire network may be affected.
Requires more cabling compared to other topologies.
Can be more expensive to set up initially.
2. Software Licensing:
Description: Software licensing involves the legal agreement between the software
developer or vendor and the end user, specifying the terms and conditions under which
the software can be used. It outlines the rights of the user and any restrictions on the
use, distribution, or modification of the software.
3. Freeware:
Description: Freeware is software that is provided for free, allowing users to use,
modify, and distribute it without the need for payment. However, freeware is still
subject to copyright, and users often need to adhere to specific terms outlined by the
software's creator.
Write abbreviation of these
