In which of the topology, each device has a dedicated point-to-point link to a central controller?

In which of the topology, each device has a dedicated point-to-point link to a central controller? Correct Answer Star

Concept:

A multipoint connection is one in which more than two specific devices share a single link

A point-to-point connection provides a dedicated link between two devices

In mesh, star and ring topologies are point-to-point connection

Mesh topology

In a mesh topology, every device has a dedicated point-to-point link to every other device

Bus Topology

In Bus Topology, one long cable acts as a backbone to link all the devices in a network

Ring topology

In a ring topology, each device has a dedicated point-to-point connection with only the two devices on either side of it; Each device is connected to its corresponding repeater

Star topology

In a star topology, each device needs only one link and one I/O port to connect it to any number of other devices

Each device has a dedicated point-to-point link to a central controller known as a hub or switch

Therefore star topology is the correct answer

On a non-pipelined sequential processor, a program segment, which is a part of the interrupt service routine, is given to transfer 500 bytes from an I/O device to memory.     Initialize the address register     Initialize the count to 500 LOOP: Load a byte from device     Store in memory at address given by address register     Increment the address register     Decrement the count     If count! = 0 go to LOOP Assume that each statement in this program is equivalent to a machine instruction which takes one clock cycle to execute if it is a non-load/store instruction. The load-store instructions take two clock cycles to execute. The designer of the system also has an alternate approach of using the DMA controller to implement the same transfer. The DMA controller requires 20 clock cycles for initialization and other overheads. Each DMA transfer cycle takes two clock cycles to transfer one byte of data from the device to the memory. What is the approximate speedup when the DMA controller based design is used in place of the interrupt driven program based input-output?
We describe a protocol of input device communication below: i) Each device has a distinct address. ii) The BUS controller scans each device in a sequence of increasing address value to determine if the entity wishes to communicate iii) The device ready to communicate leaves its data in the I/O register iv) The data is picked up and the controller moves to the step a Identify the form of communication best describes the I/O mode amongst the following.
Consider the following three statements about link state and distance vector routing protocols, for a large network with 500 network nodes and 4000 links. [S1] The computational overhead in link state protocols is higher than in distance vector protocols. [S2] A distance vector protocol (with split horizon) avoids persistent routing loops, but not a link state protocol. [S3] After a topology change, a link state protocol will converge faster than a distance vector protocol. Which one of the following is correct about S1, S2, and S3?
