Point-to-Point and Point-to-Multipoint;
There are two popular layouts for topologies : they are either point-to-point or point-to-multipoint. A point-to-point topology - also known as host to host -is one system connected directly to another system. In the past there systems would connect directly through the serial ports with a null modem cable, but these days, you could connect them using a crossover cable or a wireless connection.
A Point-to-Multipoint topology uses a central device that connects all the device together. This topology is popular with wireless. With point-to-multipoint, when the central device sends data, it is received by all devices connected to the central device. But if one of the device that are connected sends day, then it is received by only the destination system.
