Detailed explanation-1: -Disadvantage: Adding a new computer to the network requires a great deal of extra cabling, costing money and time, to connect the new computer to all of the old ones whereas a star network requires only one cable to connect it to the central server.
Detailed explanation-2: -Star Topology All devices are connected to a central switch, which makes it easy to add new nodes without rebooting all currently connected devices. This topology makes efficient use of cable and is easy to administer.
Detailed explanation-3: -Star Topology is cost efficient as compared to Mesh Topology. Mesh Topology is costlier as compared to Star Topology. In Star Topology, the data travels from the central hub or router to all the nodes. In Mesh Topology, the data travels from one node to the other.
Detailed explanation-4: -Key Differences Between Star and Mesh Topology. The Star topology organises the nodes in a star shape where the central hub is connected to all the other nodes. On the other hand, in the mesh configuration, each node is connected to the other node.
