The document discusses different network topologies: star, ring, mesh, bus, and hybrid. It provides descriptions of each topology and lists their advantages and disadvantages. A star topology connects all devices to a central hub. A ring topology connects devices in a closed loop, with data traveling in one direction. A mesh topology connects every device directly to every other device. A bus topology connects all nodes to a single cable backbone. A hybrid topology combines two or more topologies to leverage their strengths.
