(communications)
A communications network whose components are joined together by a single cable.
| (networking) | bus network - A network in which all nodes are connected to a
single wire (the bus). The two endpoints will have a
terminator. Bus networks typically use CSMA/CD techniques
to determine which node transmits data on the wire at any
given time. Examples are Ethernet 10Base2 and 10Base5 networks. See also star network, ring network. |
