™ Advantages of Mesh Topology
Use of Dedicated links guarantees that each connection can carry its own load.
This eliminates Traffic Problems as in case of Shared Link
Mesh Topology is robust. If one link fails, it does not effect other links
Security & Privacy due to dedicated links
Point – to –Point links make Fault Identification easy
™ Disadvantages of Mesh Topology
Amount of Cabling
Makes Installation & Reconfiguration difficult
Sheer bulk of wiring can be greater than the available space
Number of I/O Ports Required
Hardware required to connect each link can be prohibitively expensive
o Each device has a dedicated point-to-point link to a central controller ( Hub)
o Devices are not directly connected to each other
o Controller (Hub) acts as an exchange
o If one device wants to send data to the other, it sends the data to the controller , which then relays it to the other connected device
