Detailed explanation-1: -Mesh topology provides an inherent advantage that there is no single point of failure. Overall performance of the setup is independent of a single node or a single system. Sites that are geographically close can communicate with each other. Its main drawback is maintenance and key maintenance.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Answer: A. In a mesh topology, all devices are connected directly to every other device on the network. If one link fails, there is always another available. It is the most fault-tolerant network topology.
Detailed explanation-4: -Mesh topology is a network set up where every device and computer are interconnected with each other. This structure allows for a majority of the transmissions to be distributed even if one of the connections fails for some reason. It is the most common example of how wireless networks work today.
Detailed explanation-5: -Star Topology: It doesn’t really look like a star. Physically, this doesn’t look like a star but notice what gives it away, single point of failure.
