Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which best defines a mesh network?
A
Each device is connected by an individual cable directly to the server. These are usually the layout of choice in schools and offices because they tend to be the most reliable of the topologies.
B
Where some or all of the workstations or other devices are connected directly to each of other. Most are usually connected to the node that they exchange the most data with.
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -There are two forms of mesh topology: partial mesh topology and full mesh topology. With partial mesh topology, most nodes are interconnected but there are a few which are only connected to two or three other nodes. A full mesh topology is where every node is interconnected.

Detailed explanation-2: -A mesh network is defined as a type of local area network (LAN) topology, where multiple devices or nodes are connected in a non-hierarchical manner, so that they can coexist, cooperate, and provide comprehensive network coverage to a wider area than what is possible by a single router.

Detailed explanation-3: -There are two types of Mesh topology: fully connected mesh topology and partially connected mesh topology. Each computer in a full mesh topology is linked to all other computers in the network. In contrast, in a partial mesh topology, only specific computers are connected to those with whom they frequently communicate.
