Kudler Fine Foods Kudler Fine Foods was established in 1998 from a vision of a very motivated and passionate gourmet cook by the name of Kathy Kudler. The vision came about when the frustration of having to travel around town to gather ingredients for what she thought was an untroublesome dinner. Kathy then decided to establish her very own gourmet food shop. The first store was opened in La Jolla, California. After just two short years of the La Jolla store opening, her second location was open for business which is located in Del Mar, California. The third Kudler Fine Foods was opened in 2003 in Encinitas, California.
Kudler Fine Food Topology

Current Topology
Network Topologies Kudler’s Fine Foods all use the same Hub for connectivity. The Hubs that they are currently using are ancient history compared to today’s technology. Kudler Fine Foods currently use what is call a bus topology were all stations are attached via cable taps to a single length of cable. Each station sends signals and is able to detect signals on the bus.
The bus topology connects each computer on the network into something called the segment trunk. A bus is usually referred to a cable that connects end to end and this is used to transmit the signals from one end to the other end. At every end a terminator is placed so that it understands in which direction the data is traveling and also the terminator is used to absorb the signals. If the terminator does not absorb the signal then the same signal is reflected back to the bus confusing the whole data flow. The bus is considered to be a passive network because the computers are largely dependent on the signal that is being transmitted.
Bus Topology Advantages
The advantage of the Bus network is that if one computer fails in the network
