The common topology in use today is the STAR. Hubs or switches are used to connect computers together like a "HUB". Switches are faster and better than a hub. Hubs, switches or servers are connected between each other by a "uplink" port that is specifically used to connect these devices together. There are 4,12,24,48,or 96 port hubs that can be purchased. Two hubs connected together with 96 ports would be able to serve 192 computers together. The possibilities are endless.
