Explanation of Solution

Difference between point-to-point circuit and multipoint circuit:

Point-to-point circuit

Multipoint circuit

Point-to-point configuration means that it goes from one computer to another computer.

Multipoint configuration means that many computers are connected on the same circuit.

This circuit is also called dedicated circuits.This circuit is also called shared circuit.
