There are two ways of defining network geometry: the physical topology and the logical (or signal) topology. The physical topology of a network is the actual geometric layout of workstations. There are several common physical topologies, as described below and as shown in the illustration . 1.BUS TOPOLOGY   every  workstation  is connected to a main cable called the  bus . Therefore, in effect, each workstation is directly connected to every other workstation in the network. Alternatively referred to as a  line topology , a  bus topology  is a network setup in which each computer and network device are connected to a single cable or  backbone . The following sections contain both the advantages and disadvantages of using a bus topology with your devices. 👉Advantages of bus topology It works well when you have a small networ
