Type of connection

Type of connection :--
1.)Point-to-Point A point-to-point connection provides a dedicated link between two
devices. The entire capacity of the link is reserved for transmission between those two
devices.
2.)Multipoint:-A multipoint (also called multidrop) connection is one in which more
than two speciIic devices share a single link (see Figure 1.3h).
In a multipoint environment, the capacity of the channel is shared, either spatially
or temporally. If several devices can use the link simultaneously, it is a spatially shared
connection.
