● Flat: where all the interconnection equipment have the same functions. Topology is easier to implement and has a great ease of management, provided that the network does not increase, then being recommended for small networks.

● Hierarchical: In this model the topology is divided into discrete layers, and

each layer is focused on a set of specific functions, allowing the choice

correct equipment for each layer. A typical hierarchical topology is

composed of layers of core, composed of high-tech equipment,

optimized for performance and availability, distribution, where they are

concentrated equipment that control the flow of information across the network and

access layer, formed by equipment that provides the connections for the

network users.
