When all network cables connect to one central point the network topology is typically referred to as a(

Star

Explanation:

When all hosts are connected to a central hub it is known as a star topology.

The advantages of the star network is that it is very easy to add new devices, a failure in a host will not cause problems on the rest of the network, it is appropriate for large networks and works well under heavy loads,

The disadvantages are that a failure of the central hub brings the whole networks down and it is expensive due to the amount of cables needed.
