star topology
I found and linked below a website that has information on many, but not all, network topologies.
There are two basic categories of network topologies Physical topologies Logical topologies The shape of the cabling layout used to link devices is called the physical topology of the network. Logical topology is the way the signals act in the network In BUS topology you have "THE LINEAR BUS" and "THE DISTRIBUTED BUS" IN the LINEAR bus all the nodes of the network are connected to a common transmission medium which has 2 end points where as in the DISTRIBUTED, all the nodes are connected to a common transmission medium which has more than 2 end points.
With all network topologies there is the ability to send data either way, e.g. uploading and downloading.

best among all topologies is star topology. it is simple to establish, is centralized and offers high speed .
Those are the topologies - star, bus, and ring (that is their name).
One needed the other with all the corruption at this time.
