bus network
<networking> A network in which all nodes are connected to a single wire
(the bus). The two endpoints will have a terminator. Bus networks typically use
CSMA/CD techniques to determine which node transmits data on the wire at any
given time.
Examples are Ethernet 10Base2 and 10Base5 networks.
See also star network, ring network.
