Advantages and Disadvantages of Mesh Topology

Topic: Advantages and Disadvantages of Mesh Topology

Mesh Topology

In a mesh topology, every device on the network is physically connected to every other device on the network. Therefore, data can be sent on several possible paths from source computer to destination computer. Mesh topology is more reliable with better performance. Mesh Network Topology is mostly used in wide area networks where reliability is important.

Advantages and disadvantages of Mesh network Topology


Advantages of Mesh Network Topology

1. Since, there are many links to transfer data, Mesh topology gets rid of the traffic problem. Data may be transferred through different links.
2. If one link becomes unusable, it does not disturb the whole system. Other links can be used for communication.
3. Since each node has physical connection with other nodes, therefore, one node can transfer data to many nodes at the same time.

Disadvantages of Mesh Network Topology

1. It is very expensive due to implementation of multiple links for each node.

2. It is difficult to install and reconfigure.
3. Adding or removing a computer is difficult.

What are Different Types of Computer Hardware

What is Hardware? The physical parts of a computer are called hardware. Hardware can be touched or seen by us. For example, hard disk, mouse, keyboard, CD, CD-ROM Drive, Floppy Disk, Speakers, Modem and Printers - all are computer hardware. Explain different types of computer hardware Different types of hardware components on the basis of the functionality  they provide are as follows: 1.    Input devices Input devices are used to enter data and instructions into computer. Examples of input devices are: Keyboard, mouse, scanner, digital camera etc. Microphone Mouse Keyboard 2.    The Central Processing unit Central processing unit is the brain of the computer . It is also called CPU or Processor. Intel is the leading manufacturer of microprocessors. For example, Intel Pentium IV 3.2 MHz is an example of a CPU. You can see the images of processors / Micro processors or CPUs. Images of CPU or Microprocessor or s...
