Advantages of Mesh
1. They use dedicated links so each link can only carry its
own data load. So traffic problem can be avoided.
2. It is robust. If any one link get damaged it cannot affect
others.
3. It gives privacy and security.(Message travels along a
dedicated link)
4. Fault identification and fault isolation are easy.
Disadvantages of Mesh
• Since all devices are sharing the same cable, some form of
control is needed to make sure which device will transmit
when, otherwise there will be a collision.
Advantages of Bus Topology
1. Ease of installation.
2. Less cabling.
3. less expensive.
Disadvantages of Bus Topology
Advantages:
1. Easy to install.
2. Easy to reconfigure.
3. Fault identification is easy.
Disadvantages:
1. Unidirectional traffic.
2. Break in a single ring can break entire network.
Ring Topology
Applications:
• Ring topologies are found in some office buildings or
school campuses.
• Today high speed LANs made this topology less
popular.
Tree Topology
• Broadcast
• More collision
• Connect same networking device
