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.

                    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.
