Write advantages and disadvantages of Tree topology

Advantages of Tree topology:

• It is most suitable for large networks.
• Failure of any node does not affect network communication.
• It is Flexible network because new node can be added easily without interrupting whole network.
• Large community for support.
• It provide highly secured network.

Disadvantages of Tree topology:

• It depends upon central cable (backbone), which if fails may stop working of entire network .
• Higher level node failure may affect next level node performance.
• More expensive and complex network.
• Tough maintenance due to large no of components and cables.
