Bus Topology

The Bus Topology is a network topology, in which all of the nodes on the network are connect through a single cable - the bus. Similarly to the Star Topology this means there is a single point of failure to the network. There may also be concerns regarding security using the bus topology, as all traffic goes through every node.
