3. Star Topology  Star Topology is the most simple of all the topologies, it consists in that a HUB or a Switch receive the information of a computer and send it to the other computers. It is called Star Topology because it has the shape of a simple star. It’s advantages are that it has good performance, it’s reliable and it’s easy to replace.

4. Bus Topology  The Bus Topology is a passive topology, computers of this topology, only listen for data that has been sent to the network. They don’t move data to the computers. It works by cables and signal also. It also has a process of bounce signal. It’s advantages are that it’s easy of implement and extend. If one gets damaged, it won’t affect the others.

5. Ring Topology  This topology consists in that the central computer, sends the data to all the other computers around the ring, until, it could reach the correct destination. It’s advantages are that It’s better than a star topology under a heavy large load.
