Star Topology

                                                      In this topology, all nodes connect to a central hub or switch.
                                                      Data is sent through the hub to other nodes. It’s easy to add or
                                                      remove nodes, but if the central hub fails, the whole network
                                                      stops working. This setup is popular because it offers good

                                                      performance and simple management.


                  Tree Topology

                  Tree Topology connects nodes in a network in a tree-like structure. It starts with a root node and
                  branches out to other nodes arranged in star patterns. This setup makes it easy to expand the
                  network and manage it. If one branch has a problem, it only affects that branch, but if the root

                  node, the whole network can be affected.

















                  Mesh Topology

                  Mesh topology connects every device directly to all other
                  devices, creating multiple paths for data. This setup is
                  very reliable because if one connection fails, data can take

                  other routes. However, it can be complex and expensive
                  to set up.
                     NETWORK ARCHITECTURE


                  The network architecture defines the overall design of the computer network. There are two
                  types of network architectures.
                  Peer-to-Peer Network


                  Peer-to-Peer (P2P) architecture is a network setup where each
                  device, or peer, acts as both a client and a server. This means
                  every device can both send and receive information. Instead
                  of having a central server, each device connects directly to the
                  others and can share files or resources. It's simple to set up and
                  works well for small networks, but it can become less efficient
                  with more devices because each one has to manage its own connections.
