Question

What is BUS stands for in computer networking. B for what U for what S for what?

Answer 1

I believe this quote from Wikipedia pretty much sums it up.

"In computer architecture, a bus is a subsystem that transfers data between computer components inside a computer or between computers. Unlike a point-to-point connection, a bus can logically connect several peripherals over the same set of wires. Each bus defines its set of connectors to physically plug devices, cards or cables together."

Answer 2

bus is a topology.topology means configuration/arrangement of the systems.in case of bus the systems are placed in a straight line wherein data moves in a straight line.the data is picked by the system if it belongs to it otherwise it is moved to the next syatem.

hope this much explanation is enough.

Answer 3

There is nothing for B, U & S.

At one time, "bus" meant an electrically parallel system, with electrical conductors similar or identical to the pins on the CPU. This is no longer the case, and modern systems are blurring the lines between buses and networks.

In a network, the master scheduler controls the data traffic. If data is to be transferred the requesting computer sends a message to the scheduler, which puts the request into a queue. The message contains an identification code which is broadcast to all nodes of the network. The scheduler works out priorities and notifies the receiver as soon as the bus is available.

The identified node takes the message and performs the data transfer between the two computers. Having completed the data transfer the bus becomes free for the next request in the scheduler's queue.

Bus benefit: any computer can be accessed directly and messages can be sent in a relatively simple and fast way. Disadvantage: needs a scheduler to assign frequencies and priorities to organize the traffic.

Answer 4

Are you sure you don't mean USB? If you did, it would be Universal Serial Bus but you may be talking about something different.
