Mesh Topology Advantages and Disadvantages
Mesh topology is a network counting as an entire single unit, without any hierarchical structure. The mesh topology or the mesh network is also called a mesh net. In this network structure, some nodes are allowed to have several paths connecting them to each and every other node, this type is called the partial mesh topology and they may consist of strange and bizarre shapes because a set pattern for its’ structure is not designed. To know more about the Mesh Topology Advantages and Disadvantages, keep reading this article till the end.
Not necessarily all the nodes are connected to each other directly and that spare us the heightened expense we are handed over in the full mesh network. One more benefit of partial mesh is it reduces redundancy.
In some cases, each and every one of the nodes is allowed the privilege of having a direct and separate path connecting them to each other, this structure is considered to be the full mesh network. Point to point connection between every node makes it costlier than its’ sibling. Which is why full mesh network topology is usually reserved for the backbone networks.
This topology can be of both wired and wireless types.

- Tree Topology and Its Advantages and Disadvantages
- As each of these nodes or devices have access to the paths, mesh topology succeeds in managing the network traffic. Multiple devices transmit data at the same time and the flow of the data can continue without restraint.
- There is no hub in this network which makes it immune to breakage and transmission of data need not be stopped if one device breaks or shut down since the responsibilities and functionality are equally shared by all the nodes.
