A tree topology is a special type of structure in which many connected elements are arranged like the branches of a tree. For example, tree topologies are frequently used to organize the computers in a corporate network, or the information in a database.
In a tree topology, there can be only one connection between any two connected nodes. Because any two nodes can have only one mutual connection, tree topologies form a natural parent and child hierarchy.
Advantages of tree topology:
- Scalable as leaf nodes can accommodate more nodes in the hierarchical chain.
- A point to point wiring to the central hub at each intermediate node of a tree topology represents a node in the bus topology
- Other hierarchical networks are not affected if one of them gets damaged
- Easier maintenance and fault finding
Disadvantages of tree topology:
- Huge cabling is needed
- A lot of maintenance is needed
- backbone forms the point of failure.
