     • mesh topology
       • Advantages
         • Can handle a high level of traffic
         • It’s easy to change the size of the network
         • Can handle a lot of data
       • Disadvantages
         • Can be very expensive
         • Can be slow/have latency issues
         • Takes time to build and take care of
     • star topology
       • Advantages
         • Reliable
         • Centralised
         • Multiple stars can be created to extend reach
       • Disadvantages
         • Everything relies on the central device
         • Normally immobile
         • Can be damaged easily
