Best answer

Difference between Bus topology and Star topology is as follows: In bus topology, all nodes are connected to server along a single length of cable. Whereas, in star topology, all nodes are connected to server individually. 

Advantages of Star topology over Bus topology are:

(i) Easy to detect faults and remove it.

(ii) Failure of single system will not bring down the entire network.

Disadvantages of Star topology over Bus topology: 

(i) Requires more cable length than Bus topology.

(ii) If hub or server fails, the entire network will be disabled.
