A comparative analysis of various scenarios in tabular form

was carried out based on the given network parameters to
obtain the effective performance of this topology. Figures 6–10
show the graphical representation of the findings.
Figure 6 shows the graph for all of the delays (sec)
considered for different nodes. During the data transmission
process, it was clear that a bus topology with 10 nodes had the
highest delay (sec), while a topology with 40 nodes had the
lowest delay (sec).

V. CONCLUSION
Considering the vital and prevalent concern of distributed
computers with the ability to provide great performance at a
moderate cost, different computers were linked to provide
effective data distribution. However, based on the results
obtained from the simulation environment, it is crystal clear
