Computer Networks - I — Question 7

Two advantages of mesh topology are:

1. It provides extensive back-up and rerouting capabilities.
2. Each node is connected to more than one node to provide an alternative route in the case the host is either down or too busy.

Two disadvantages of mesh topology are:

1. Mesh networks can be complex to design, implement, and manage, especially as the number of nodes increases.
2. Maintenance and troubleshooting in mesh networks can be challenging due to their decentralized nature.
