A
You have a network that uses a logical bus topology. How do messages travel through the network?
answer
Messages are broadcast to all devices connected to the network.
Messages are sent to a central device that forwards them to the destination devices.
Messages travel from one device to the next until they reach the destination device.
Messages are sent directly to the correct destination device.
