a bus topology is made up of a linear transmission medium that is terminated at both ends. nodes attach directly to the bus, making it difficult to troubleshoot. difficulty in troubleshootingis considered the biggest drawback for this topology.
even though a bus is normally represted as a straight line in this picture, most bus networks represent cables that snake, weave and wrap their way through building conduits and corridors so you wont see them. this resulsts in the rapid growth of the overall bus lenght. in addion any break in the bus causues the entire network to go down.
bus topoloiges commonly use coaxial cable. traditionally, ethernet has use a bus topoly, bus topolgies are usualy used for small temporary installations
with a bus topoly, the 5-3-3 rule applies, there can be no more than five network segments and four repeaters and only three of the five segments can be populated with hosts.
bus topology is usually 10Mbs
look at the picture to see how a bus topology looks like
