Detailed explanation-1: -Advantage: In a mesh network, every computer can access data on every other computer on the network without needing to go through some central server as in a star network.
Detailed explanation-2: -Advantages of Mesh Topology Multiple devices can transmit data at the same time, allowing for high amounts of traffic. If one device fails, data transmission is not impacted in the rest of the network. Adding devices to the network does not disrupt data transmission.
Detailed explanation-3: -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.
