    Tree Topology

                  In  this  topology,  nodes are connected  as
                  branches of a tree where hub  acts as a root
                  node. It is very simple in nature as it is easier to
                  add new or remove  the faulty nodes. But its
                  major disadvantage is that if the root node fails
                  to operate, the entire network is inoperable.

                                                             Mesh Topology

                                                             In this topology, every single node in a network is connected
                                                             to all the other nodes or computers in the network. There
                                                             are minimal chances of breakdown  in this topology. This
                                                             topology is mostly used in LANs.

                         1.  Mesh Topology                       a.  nodes are connected as branches of a tree

                         2.  Bus Topology                        b.  nodes are connected to a central node

                         3.  Ring Topology                       c.  nodes are connected in a circular path

                         4.  Star Topology                       d.  nodes are connected to a single common path

                         5.  Tree Topology                       e.  node are connected to all the other nodes

                        NETWORK ARCHITECTURE

                  The network architecture defines the overall design of the computer network. There are two types of
                  network architectures.

                  Peer-to-Peer Network
                  A peer-to-peer (P2P) network is a computer network where each computer acts as both a client and a
                  server.
