there is a disadvantage. The Bus Network has its fair share of disadvantages. Since the computers or nodes are connected in a single line they are dependent with one another, so if one crashes, the whole network crashes. Troubleshooting computers that are connected by a Bus Network is very difficult. As mentioned earlier, if one node crashes, the entire network is affected, and it will only function again when the defective device is disconnected from the network. Imagine if your system crashes, you have to disconnect the devices one by one in order to find the defective device. This is a very long and tiring process. Another disadvantage of using the Bus Network is that expansion of this network is limited due to attenuation; which is the weakening of a signal in accordance with

distance. Now, if you are considering building a network, you have a wide variety of choices. Only by understanding the characteristics, advantages, and disadvantages, between the various types of network topologies, will you be able to reach a reasonable solution for what particular network will best suit your need.
