    Question

    Which network topology is highly scalable but requires complex routing mechanisms?

    A Star Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Bus Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Ring Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Mesh Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Tree Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Mesh topology connects each node to several other nodes, creating multiple pathways for data to travel. While this enhances scalability and redundancy, it requires complex routing mechanisms to ensure that data is sent through the most efficient paths. a) Star topology is easy to manage but not as scalable. b) Bus topology is not scalable and offers limited redundancy. c) Ring topology is less scalable and more prone to failure. e) Tree topology is hierarchical but lacks the redundancy and scalability of mesh.
