1. what are network topologies ?

   • first of all there are many different topologies these consist of :
     • mesh topology
     • star topology
       • they're connected to one specific computer

2. what are network topologies?

   • the network topology refers to the layout of a network
   • the different topologies are:
     • mesh
     • star
       • all computing devices are connected to a centrally located hub or switch
     • bus
       • connected to single linear cable i.e trunk or backbone
     • ring
       • devices connected to a cable that forms a closed loop
     • tree

3. client server networks & peer-peer networks

   • a client server relies on the central server and all the clients require services from the servers
   • in a p-p network all computers have an equal status and each computer can act as a client and a server
