I was just doing the past paper of '04 and theres a question which i dont really get.
It saids:
Two council libraries have different solutions to networking their computer resources.
Both libraries provide access to different categories of users including members of the
general public, librarians and council employees. Library A has a ring network with
five computers and a shared printer. Library B has a bus network with six computers,
two shared printers and an internet server.
(a) For each library:
• draw a diagram to represent the network topology;
• identify an appropriate protocol for the network topology.
What kind of protocol would be used for libraries A and B and why?
