Tamara Heath · Answer 1

I'd suggest a Star topology.

In this type of topology, every node is connected to a central network device like a switch, router, or a computer. Nowadays, bus topologies are not commonly used and thus not reliable. Both star and Mesh are reliable topologies since a failure of one device does not affect the entire network. However, overall cost of Mesh topologies is way too high as compared to any other network topology making it an undesirable option.
