Network Architecture Types
Lesson 3: Network Architecture Types
Another set of network technologies that impact routing, and determine traffic flow, deal with network architecture types (for example, point-to-point, broadcast, and NBMA). For design and troubleshooting purposes, you should be familiar with the characteristics of each.
Point-to-Point Network
A very basic network architecture type is a point-to-point network. As seen in Figure 1-12, a point-to-point network segment consists of a single network link interconnecting two routers. This network type is commonly found on serial links.
