... Mesh, Bus, Ring and Star topologies
I found a vast amount of information on this again at http://searchtechtarget. ...
Mesh: A mesh network is a local area network (LAN) that employs one of two connection arrangements, full mesh topology or partial mesh topology. ...
The illustration shows a full mesh network with five nodes. ...
A mesh network is reliable and offers redundancy since each device is connected to each other in full mesh topology. ... In some scenarios, a ring network or star network may prove more cost effective than a mesh network. If all the nodes lie near a common line, the bus network topology is often the best alternative in terms of cost.
Bus: A bus network is an arrangement in a LAN in which each node is connected to a main cable or link called the bus. The illustration shows a bus network with five nodes. ...
A bus network is simple and reliable. ...
There are several limitations to the bus network topology. ... A bus network may not work well if the nodes are located at scattered points that do not lie near a common line. In situations like this, a ring, mesh network, or star network may prove more flexible and more cost effective.
Ring: A ring network is a LAN in which the nodes are connected in a closed loop configuration. ...
The illustration shows a ring network with five nodes. ...
A break in the cable of a ring network may result in degraded data speed between pairs of workstations for which the data path is increased as a result of the break.
