Networking problems

In a bus topology, addressing and communication conflicts are complicated but must be solved. With the problem of addressing, one solution could be to name each computer distinctly with a number. This would help with sending a message to a certain computer. It would be important not to repeat numbers, so that your message could be delivered to the correct destination.

Communication gets complicated because the wires in the network must handle many different tasks at once. To help prioritize what messages gets transfered first, you could assign priority to each computer. Each computer would have a number as their name, which also could correspond to how important they are or how fast their messages get sent. For example, in a classroom, the teacher's computer would be named number one becasue it is most important and probably needs to do the most work. Adding more wires so that more information can flow would also be helpful.
