Point-to-point
Point-to-point networks do not need expensive servers or an operating system. They
are easier to upkeep since it is easy to changes the wires. However, it is only ideal
for small networks and when a connection is interrupted so is the network.
Bus
Similar to point-to-point networks, bus networks are less expensive than others and
easier to set up and use. It is also used for smaller networks. Bus networks also
depend on one cable, so if something happens to that cable the network would also
be down.
Ring
Ring networks are also easier to set up. They also can work at higher speeds.
Similar to point-to-point networks when a connection is interrupted so is the network.
