    Question

    Which of the following statements best describes a mesh topology in network design?

    A In mesh topology, all devices are connected to a central hub or switch, creating a star-like network. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B In mesh topology, each device is connected to every other device in the network, ensuring multiple paths for data transmission. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C In mesh topology, devices are connected in a linear sequence, with data traveling from one device to the next. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D In mesh topology, devices are connected in a tree structure, where one central device connects to several branches. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E In mesh topology, devices communicate wirelessly with each other through a central access point. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    In a mesh topology, every device (node) in the network is connected to every other device. This setup provides multiple paths for data to travel between any two devices, which enhances redundancy and reliability. If one path fails, data can still be transmitted through alternative routes, minimizing the risk of network downtime. Mesh topology can be implemented in a full mesh, where each device is directly connected to every other device, or in a partial mesh, where only some devices are interconnected. This topology is often used in critical network applications where high reliability and fault tolerance are essential, but it can be more complex and costly to implement compared to other topologies like star or bus.
