Detailed explanation-1: -A mesh topology has multiple connections, making it the most fault tolerant topology available. Every component of the network is connected directly to every other component. Characteristics of a mesh topology are as follows: A mesh topology provides redundant links across the network.
Detailed explanation-2: -Bus is the least fault tolerant because if the single shared communication media that all nodes tap into fails, the whole network fails as well.
Detailed explanation-3: -This is the fault-tolerance approach [21]. Fault-tolerance avoids service failures in the presence of faults. Service failure, or failure, is the inability of a system to perform a service according to the service specification. Error is a part of the system state which may lead to a subsequent service failure.
