1. As compared to Bus topology, it gives far much better performance, signals don’t necessarily get transmitted to all the workstations. A sent signal reaches the intended destination after passing through no more than 3-4 devices and 2- 3 links. Performance of the network is dependent on the capacity of central hub.
2. Easy to connect new nodes or devices— In star topology new nodes can be added easily without affecting rest of the network. Similarly, components can also be removed easily.
3. Centralized management— It helps in monitoring the network.
4. Failure of one node or link doesn’t affect the rest of network. At the same, time it is easy to detect the failure and troubleshoot it.
