When I think of network topology is short term, I know that it is just a
network layout of nodes of a computer network so that communication
can be established.
Point to point
A point-to-point topology is the simplest amongst all of the topologies but
one disadvantage is that if one node fails then the whole network fails as
well.
Bus
Bus topology connects many nodes together in a series flow one after the
other. Using the bus topology there is only one wire used which makes it
less expensive but the cable length is limited and usually measured
around three meters. Also, an advantage about using the bus topology is
that when one node fails it does not affect the other nodes on the network
