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.
