The star topology reduces the impact of a transmission line failure by independently connecting each host to the hub. Each host may thus communicate with all others by transmitting to, and receiving from, the hub. The failure of a transmission line linking any host to the hub will result in the

In its simplest form, one central hub acts as a conduit to transmit messages. The star network is one of the most common 224: 341: 60: 281: 393: 17: 194:
