Likewise, there are eight types of topology.  Let's dive deep to differentiate between each other types. P2p topology P2p is a peer-to-peer network, a simple form of network between computers. It has been in practice since 1970. In this type, every computer acts as a node for data sharing within a connected network. As every computer acts as a node, no central server is required for this configuration. Even though the network is easy to maintain, the main drawback of the system is it allows only up to a maximum of 12 computers to be connected. Bus Topology Literally, from the name, it is clear that the nodes (a.k.a) computers are connected in such a way that they are connected through a bus route. Here
