Mesh Topology:-

            In a Mesh topology, every node has point-to-point connection to the other node. All the computers are interconnected to each other in a network. This type of mesh topology is very expensive and it is difficult to establish the connections. The connection in mesh topology can be used in wireless network.

Features of Mesh Topology:-

• In a mesh network topology, each of the network node, computer and other devices, are interconnected with one other.
• Every node not only send its own signals but also relays data from other nodes.
• This type of topology is very expensive as there are many redundant connections.
• The internet is an example of mesh topology.

Advantages of Mesh Topology:-

• The networks are very reliable because if any link breaks, it will not affect the other connected computers.
• There is no link between point-to-points because it is secure.
• Fault is diagnosed easily.
• It is very fast communication between the nodes.

Disadvantages of Mesh Topology:-

• It requires space to run the cables.
• Installation process is difficult, as each node is connected to every node.
• It requires number of cables and Input-output ports for communication.
• The Management of mesh network is very large and difficult to maintain and manage. If not monitored carefully, then the communication link in the network fails.
