Point-to-Point and Point-to-Multipoint

(P2P) solutions involve a direct link between two network nodes or locations. This type of connection is often used for secure and high-speed data transfer over a dedicated line, such as a leased line or a wireless link. It’s ideal for scenarios where two sites must communicate without interference or data bottlenecks from other connections. (P2MP) solutions involve one central point (a hub or base station) connecting multiple endpoints or nodes. This setup is standard in wireless networks, such as Wi-Fi and cellular networks, where a single access point serves many devices. It’s ideal for scenarios where data needs to be distributed from a central source to various locations.
