3. Bus Topology:- In a bus Topology, all the nodes are connected to a central cable called bus. See fig. Below:

4. Mesh Topology:- In a mesh Topology, all the nodes are interconnected with one another which allows each nodes to have a direct connection with all other nodes in the network. See fig. Below:
