The hub and/or the active monitor program will be aware of the system that is turned off, and the attempt to send that system the token will be bypassed. Standard token ring systems are designed to avoid systems that are turned off or non-functioning. The network keeps running.
The advantage is in fault detection; in a bus topology any break in any wire segment would cause the entire LAN to fail. With a star topology, a break in any wire segment only affects the one client connected to the network.
This sounds like a homework question.....hmmmm. Anyway- if there's a break in a bus topology, the nodes that are downstream from the break are cut-off from the rest of the network. In a ring topology, the nodes on both sides of the break will loop the path (self-healing) back towards the ring, so every node is still communicating with each other.
-Failure during a single device won’t break the network. -There is no traffic problem as there is a dedicated point to point links for every computer. -Fault identification is straightforward. -This topology provides multiple paths to succeed in the destination and tons of redundancy. -It provides high privacy and security. -Data transmission is more consistent because failure doesn’t disrupt its processes. -Adding new devices won’t disrupt data transmissions. -This topology has robust features to beat any situation. -A mesh doesn’t have a centralized authority.

a break is bad and if you hit your computure with a hammer you break it
The disadvantage of using a bus topology is that a break in any of the connecting cables will bring down the entire network segment. The disadvantage of using a star topology is limited to the central connecting device; it is breaks, the entire network goes down.
hit it with a bat
No.
Ummm.....NEVERR!!
Yes it is
Yes it does crash your computer and it can break it completely!
Reliable because a hybrid topology can diagnose and isolate faults efficiently. A network fault (such as a faulty node or a break in a network cable) will not affect the performance of the rest of the network. A hybrid network quickly scans all nodes and hardware points to detect where a fault lies, isolates it, and carries out further diagnostic tests. The rest of the network remains fully functional while this fault isolation and diagnosis is carried out. Flexible because I combine various configurations to bring about most optimal conditions to suit network traffic, processing loads and data latency. Hybrid networks can be expanded easily to add new systems and nodes. Each concentration point (or the point which a network connection is made) is designed to hold extra lobes. Additional network hardware peripherals can be attached to these lobes in order to increase capacity.A hybrid topology is able to tap into the strengths of other topologies and ignore their weaknesses. This results in a complex network that is more efficient and effective than individual topologies. It combines the optimal features of its combined topologies. For instance, a star-wired ring topology combines the features of a star topology with those of a ring topology. This hybrid topology combines the fault tolerance capability of the star topology with the data reliability of the ring topology. A star-wired bus topology combines the features of a star topology with a linear bus topology. It combines the network extension features of the bus topology with the simplicity and fault tolerance of the star topology.
