bus network
     
         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}.
