A tree topology combines characteristics of linear bus and star topologies.It consists of star-configured workstations connected to a linear bus backbone cable.Tree topologies allow for the expansion of an existing network and enable schools to configure a network to meet their needs.
ADVANTAGES OF A TREE TOPOLOGY
• point to point writing for individual segments
• supported by several hardware and software venders
DISADVANTAGES OF A TREE TOPOLOGY
• overall length of each segment is limited by the type of cabling used
• if the backbone line breaks,the entire segment goes down
• more difficult to configure and wire than other topologies
