Peer-to-peer bus protocols are substantially less complex but more expensive than master-slave bus protocols.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Peer-to-peer bus protocols are actually less expensive than master-slave bus protocols because they do not require a dedicated master device, which can be costly. Additionally, peer-to-peer protocols can be more flexible and scalable since any device can communicate directly with any other device on the bus without going through a central controller. However, they may be less efficient in terms of bandwidth utilization and may require more complex routing algorithms.
