Advantages of Bus Topology are:
It requires a short cable length and simple wiring, reducing installation costs and maintenance efforts due to a single data path connecting all nodes.
The linear architecture's simplicity ensures high hardware reliability, with all data passing through a single connecting cable.
Additional nodes can be connected to an existing bus network at any point along its length.
Disadvantages of Bus Topology are:
Fault diagnosis is difficult due to decentralized network control.
Fault isolation is difficult. If a node is faulty, it must be fixed at its network connection point.
Extending a bus-type network's backbone with repeaters might require reconfiguration.
Nodes in a bus network need to be intelligent to manage network access independently as they are directly connected to the central bus.
