This document discusses different network topologies including point-to-point, star, bus, ring, hybrid, mesh, and hierarchical topologies. A point-to-point topology connects only two nodes, a star topology connects all nodes to a central hub, and a bus topology uses a single cable as a shared medium. A ring topology forms a closed loop with devices connected one after the other, and hybrid topologies combine two or more topologies. Mesh topologies connect all devices to each other, and hierarchical topologies use multiple levels of networks.
