Bus
A bus topology connects all stations in a linear fashion. Sometimes it is called daisy-chaining.
The wire on a bus network has two distinct end points, which are capped by terminators.
Terminators absorb electronic signals so that they are not reflected on the network.
The termination requirement of the bus topology is extremely important and is revisited quite often in discussions of network topology and troubleshooting.
On a bus topology, all stations receive the signals transmitted by other stations. Network signals travel in both directions along the bus and each station checks the data frame as it passes by.
