Explanation
Point-to-multipoint describes a topology where a single central node communicates with multiple remote nodes, but those remote nodes do not communicate directly with each other. In this scenario, one computer acts as the hub providing Internet access to three others, which have no direct connections among themselves - a textbook point-to-multipoint arrangement. Point-to-point involves only two nodes. Peer-to-peer implies direct communication between nodes of equal status. Hybrid is a combination of multiple topology types.
