	HARDWARE: Topologies bus All nodes are connected to a single wire or cable (the bus) which has two endpoints. Each communications device on the network transmits electronic messages to other devices. If some of those messages collide, the sending device will wait and then try to transmit again. The advantage of bus network is that it is can be organized as a peer-to-peer network or client/server network. It is also relatively inexpensive to install. The disadvantage is that if the bus network fails, the whole system network fails. The wider the bus the better! ring The ring network is a network in which all communications devices and microprocessors are connected in a continuous loop. Electronic messages pass around the ring until they reach the correct destination; there is no central server. The advantage of a ring network is that messages only flow in one direction. The disadvantage is that if a single connection is broken, the whole network stops working. The distributed star or tree topology can provide many of the advantages of the bus and the star topologies. It connects workstations to a central point, called a hub. This hub can support several workstations or hubs which, in turn, can support other workstations. Distributed star topologies can be easily adapted to the physical arrangement of the facility site. (Integrated Publishing) star A network that links all microcomputer and other communication devices through a central server. The advantages of this hub is that it prevents impact between messages. The network forms a star shape having the central server in the middle with a single branch outward, the branch will not branch to another device. Other Advantages Include: * Good performance. * Scalable, Easy to set up and to expand. * Any non-centralised failure will have very little effect on the network, whereas on a ring network it would all fail with one fault. * Easy to detect faults * Data Packets are sent quickly as they do not have to travel through any unnecessary nodes. * It is used for centralised control. TRAVEL TO CROATIA Some popular sports in Croatia include football, tennis, basketball, waterpolo and handball.

Croatian national handball team were World Champions and two time Olympics Winers in 1996. and 2004. Ivano Balic is considered to be the best handball player in the world. The Croatian National Water Polo Team are also World Champions. Croatian Davis Cup team won the tournament in 2005. Tennis player Goran Ivaniševic is one of the country's most recognizable sportsmen, and won the 2001 men's singles title at Wimbledon. Janica Kostelic in skiing, Blanka Vlašic in athletics, Duje Draganja, Sanja Jovanovic and Đurdica Bjedov in swimming, Dražen Petrovic, Krešimir Cosic, Toni Kukoc and Dino Rada in basketball, Željko Mavrovic and Mate Parlov in boxing, Branko Cikatic and Mirko Filipovic known as Cro Cop in Mixed martial arts, Tamara Boroš in table tennis are one of the most famous athletes.
