Detailed explanation-1: -Advantages of ring topology : It is less expensive than all but peers to peer WAN. Each computer has equal access to resources. Additional components do not affect the performance of a network. There is no need for a network server to control the connectivity between workstations.
Detailed explanation-2: -What happens if a Ring topology fails? Answer: A single node failure or cable breakdown can separate every node attached to the Ring. Therefore, very thoroughly arranged networks where every device can access the token and the opportunity to transmit data may break down if one node stops working.
Detailed explanation-3: -Disadvantages of Mesh Topology : It’s costly as compared to the opposite network topologies i.e. star, bus, point to point topology. Installation is extremely difficult in the mesh. Power requirement is higher as all the nodes will need to remain active all the time and share the load. Complex process.
