networks
Bus
The computers (nodes) are connected to a single cable on which data can be sent, called the bus.
The bus has terminators on each end, which are needed to close each end of the cable.
As the packets arrive at each computer system, it checks the destination address contained in the packet to see if it matches its own.
If the address does not match, the computer system ignores the packet. If the address of the computer system matches that contained in the packet, it processes the data.
Mac address
Specialist hardware such as routers, switches, bridges and gateways construct in their memory a routing table, which stores a number of paths along which it is best to send packets to reach a specific destination. Maintaining accurate routing tables is essential for ensuring that packets are delivered as quickly as possible.
mesh
Each node relays data for the mesh network. All mesh nodes cooperate in the distribution of data in the network.
This is very reliable as it can 'self-heal' by reconfiguring around broken paths. This network is complex, expensive and difficult to set up. A large part of the network may be redundant

advantages
The transmission of data is simple as packets travel in one direction only, so no collisions.
-
routing
Routing is the name given to the method of selecting paths along which packets are sent on a computer network.
Specialist hardware such as routers, switches, bridges and gateways construct in their memory a routing table, which stores a number of paths along which it is best to send packets to reach a specific destination. Maintaining accurate routing tables is essential for ensuring that packets are delivered as quickly as possible.
