We have all these types of point-to-point
1- Point-to-Point Access PPP.(Frouzan Book)
2- Point-to-Point Protocol PPP.(Frouzan Book data communication and network)
3- Point-to-Point Link. (William Stalling book data and computer communications)
4- Point-to-Point connection (Frouzan Book)
Point-to-Point connection: Between each pair of devices (a mesh topology). frouzan book
and in another place he said:
((it provides a dedicated link between two devices. The entire capacity of the link is reserved for transmission bewteen those two devices. Most point-to-point connections use an actual length of wire or cable to connect the two ends-----etc)).
My quesry does that mean point-to-point only for dedicated physiacl cable? Does this connection popular?
Again to Frouzan Book chapter 12
((In a network, two device can be connected by a dedicated link or a shared. In the first case, -----we refer to this type of access point-to-point access. In second cases, the link is shared between pairs of devices that need to use the link. We refer to this type of access as multiple access)).
Does that mean point-to-point access is same as point-to-point link and point-to-point connection ?
Thanks
