2. Star – each device is connected to a hub through a dedicated point-to-point
link.
The devices are not directly linked to each other.
If one device wants to send data to another, it sends it first to the hub, which
then forwards the data to the other connected device.
Advantages of a Star topology
• Less expensive than mesh
• Easy to install, easy to configure
• If one link fails the network can still function
Disadvantages of a Star topology
• Everything depends on the hub
