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: -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.
Detailed explanation-3: -Having nodes arranged in a mesh topology brings some benefits: messages can be received more quickly if the route to the intended recipient is short. messages should always get through as they have many possible routes on which to travel. multiple connections mean (in theory) that no node should be isolated.
Detailed explanation-4: -Star topology is relatively easy to install and configure. The central hub or switch acts as a central point of communication, making it easy to connect and disconnect devices. This makes it easy to add or remove devices from the network without affecting the rest of the network.
