Star Topology Overview

Definition
Star topology is a type of network topology where all nodes are connected to a central hub
or switch. The hub acts as a repeater for data flow.

Diagram/Visual Representation
A diagram typically shows a central node with lines radiating to each connected device.

Key Features
Each device is independently connected to the central node. This topology is commonly
used in home and office networks.

Advantages
- Easy to install and manage.
- Centralized management and troubleshooting.
- Failure of one node does not affect the entire network.

Disadvantages
- High dependence on the central node; failure of the hub can bring down the entire
network.
- More cabling is required compared to some other topologies.

Applications
Used in small to medium-sized networks, such as offices, schools, and home setups.
