Match the type of topology with it's correct definition. - when a node is seen by another node as if it is connected directly. There might be some intermediate devices but each node on either side is unaware of intermediate layers. - Peer to peer - when there is a single and a common communication channel on which all nodes are connected with terminators on both ends to absorb signals. - Bus - the arrangement of nodes where there is a central node from which all other nodes are connected. - Star - the sequence of all nodes connected, one gets connection from the preceding node and the first node is the last node which makes a cycle . - Ring - the arrangement of nodes based on levels or layers. There is always one node at the button of the network (root node), below this level is another level of nodes (which all share the same parent), and below each of those nodes are other nodes. At each level, there is one root node when combined with its children they form a star topology. - Tree - the arrangement of nodes in such a way that each node in the network is connected to the rest of the other nodes. - Mesh - the implementation of two or more topologies together to form a network. - Hybrid
