Star Topology
All hosts are connected to a central device known as HUB DEVICE using a point to point connection
If hub device fails, all devices won't function anymore
Ring Topology
Each host/machine connects exactly to two hosts
To send data to host 3, it needs to send data to a host that is connected to host 3
