Advantages
Ð ÐIt combines the best features of bus and star topologies.
Ð ÐAs leaf nodes can add more nodes to the hierarchical chain, it has high scalability.
Ð ÐIf one of a network’s nodes is damaged, the other nodes are unaffected.
Ð ÐIt allows for simple maintenance and defect detection.
ÐSeveral hardware and software companies support it.
Ð
Disadvantages
Ð ÐIn comparison to star and bus topologies, large cabling is required.
Ð ÐWhen a hub fails, the entire network fails.
Ð ÐOther network topologies are easier to configure than tree networks.

Notes
Differentiable equations, dynamical systems, knot theory, and Riemann surfaces in complex analysis are all
examples of topology in Mathematics. It’s also used in Physics to describe the universe’s space-time structure
and in string theory.
