htt240 - Mesh- Offers great redundancy because all computers are connected to each other and reliability since one of the other links will take over when another goes down. Troubleshooting is also another plus but because of the amount of cabling and it is quite expensive to install.
htt 240 - Bus- It’s easy to implement since it has one backbone and the cost is low since the amount of cable is low. The disadvantages are that a single break in the cable causes a complete failure, limitations to cable length and number of devices, hard to find problems due to the difficulty of finding a break in the cable.
Ring- Offers better performance under heavy loads when compared to the Star topology and token passing provides orderly data transmissions. Ethernet has high performance under low loads, is more expensive than Ethernet and a faulty node/cable will cause total network outage.

Star- If data is restricted to certain nodes it will increase the overall network performance, each device is connected to a switch by it’s own cable, no central backbone that would cause outage of broken and easy to troubleshoot since problems are localized. One of the downfalls is if the switch that all the nodes are connected to goes down all nodes on that device also lose connection.
Ethernet- Can be configured to run either bus or Star topology and runs anywhere from 10Mbps to 100 Mbps. The more nodes are added the more performance, speed and reliability will suffer.
ntc 360
Token Ring- Throughput is 16Mbps is reliable and robust when compared to Ethernet. As with any Ring topology the disadvantage is if a node does go down it will affect the rest of the nodes on the same segment.
FIDDI- Is able to run at speeds of 100Mbps and a distance of 62 miles (100km) and often used as a backbone for a network. Uses ring topology but usually has a dual counter-rotating ring which is used as a backup if a break in the ring is encountered.
