They use dedicated links so each link can only carry its own data load. So traffic problem can be avoided.  \n2. It is robust. If any one link get damaged it cannot affect others.  \n3. It gives privacy and security.(Message travels along a dedicated link)  \n4. Fault identification and fault isolation are easy.  \nMesh Topology  \nMesh Topology  \nMesh Topology  \n• Disadvantages:  \n1. The amount of cabling and the number ofI/O ports required are very large. Since every device is connected to each devices through dedicated links.  \n2. The sheer bulk of wiring is larger then the available space.  \n3. Hardware required to connected each device is highly expensive.  \nMesh Topology  \n• Applications:  \n1. Telephone Regional office.  \n2. WAN.(Wide Area Network) .  \nStar Topology  \n• Here each device has a dedicated point-to-point link to the central controller called “Hub”(Act as a Exchange) .  \n• There is no direct traffic between devices.  \n• The transmission are occurred only through the central “hub”.  \n• When device 1 wants to send data to device 2; First sends the data to hub. Which then relays the data to the other connected device.","cbCaihKPwzeVMECb","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihKPwzeVMECb","pdf",1110617,35,"English","# Network Topology Overview\n## Types of Topologies\n# Mesh Topology\n## Advantages of Mesh\n## Disadvantages of Mesh\n## Applications of Mesh\n# Star Topology","[{\"question\":\"What is network topology?\",\"answer\":\"Network topology refers to the physical or logical layout of connected devices on a computer network.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the primary advantages of a mesh topology?\",\"answer\":\"Key advantages include dedicated links that prevent traffic congestion, high robustness where a single damaged link does not affect others, enhanced privacy and security, and easy fault identification and isolation.\"},{\"question\":\"How does data transmission work in a star topology?\",\"answer\":\"In a star topology, there is no direct traffic between devices.
