Star networks are one of the most common wireless network topologies. In its simplest form, a star network consists of one central device which acts as a conduit to receive / transmit data. The star topology reduces the chance of network failure by connecting all of the devices to a central device. Star networking supports
One to One communication.
One to many Communication.
Peer to peer.
Data on a star network passes through the central device before continuing to reach its destination. The central device manages and controls the functions of the network. It also acts as a repeater for network extension.
The failure of a link will result in the isolation of that node from all others,
but the rest of the network remains unaffected.
