Mesh Topology

Mesh Topology
Mesh Topology Advantage:
  • It has multiple links, so if one route is blocked then other routes can be used for data communication.
  • Each connection can have its own data load, so the traffic problem is eliminated.
  • It ensures the data privacy or security, because every message travels along a dedicated link.
  • Troubleshooting of this topology is easy as compared to other networks.
  • Its performance is not affected with heavy load of data transmission.

Disadvantages

Mesh topology has the following disadvantages:

  • It becomes very expensive because a large number of cabling and 110 ports are required.
  • It is difficult to install.
