:: The type of network topology in which all of the nodes of the network are connected to a common transmission medium which has exactly two endpoints ( this is the ' bus ', which is also commonly referred to as the backbone, or trunk ) – all data that is transmitted between nodes in the network is transmitted over this common transmission medium and is able to be received by all nodes in the network simultaneously.

:: The type of network topology in which all of the nodes of the network are connected to a common transmission medium which has more than two endpoints that are created by adding branches to the main section of the transmission medium – the physical distributed bus topology functions in exactly the same fashion as the physical linear bus topology ( i. e., all nodes share a common transmission medium ).
