-  * **Point to Point**: this is the most straightforward. It only involves two participants. It may be ’simplex’, which means that only one of the participants communicates (therefore the process is only a one-way process). It may be ’full-duplex’, which means that the communication partners can equally send information to each other (for example Skype, or Hangouts where the participants can talk simultaneously).

 Of course mixed configurations are also well-known in these communication layouts.
