Suppose a leather firm wants to build a computer network, where it wants to connectmultiple star topologies together, which topology you will prefer to connect multiple star topologies? Explain your answer with solid reasons.

Answer
Tree topologies are formed by integrating many star topologies. As according to our requirements, we need to connect two star topologies. This is done by attaching the hub of each star network to a  ‘tree’ bus. The “tree” bus acts as the common bus for the several hubs connected. Each hub functions as "root" to its star network.

As tree topologies integrate multiple star topologies together onto a bus. In its simplest form, only hub devices connect directly to the tree bus, where each hub functions as the "root" to make tree of devices. This  bus/star hybrid approach supports future expandability of the network much better than a bus or a star alone.
