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.
