This document discusses different network topologies: - A mesh topology connects each device to every other device, allowing data to route around failures and be distributed widely. It provides redundancy. - A star topology connects all nodes individually to a central hub. If a connection fails only one node is affected, but it uses more cable than a bus topology. - Other topologies discussed include ring, bus, and tree but no details are provided about them.

MESH TOPOLOGY:
A mesh topology is a network setup where each computer and network device is interconnected
with one another. This topology setup allows for most transmissions to be distributed even if one
of the connections goes down. It is a topology commonly used for wireless networks.
Mesh networks operate in two ways: by either routing the data or flooding the data. When you're
routing a message in a mesh network, it propagates along a predefined path, hopping from node
to node until it reaches its destination.
A mesh topology has multiple connections, making it the most fault tolerant topology available.
Every component of the network is connected directly to every other component. Characteristics
of a mesh topology are as follows: A mesh topology provides redundant links across the
network.
Mesh topology is a type of networking where all nodes cooperate to distribute data amongst each
other.
Mesh systems usually rely on a routing table, which tells every node (a) how to communicate
with the access point, and (b) how a node should direct traffic that is trying to go somewhere.
The routing table assumes that there is not direct communication anywhere in the network except
by nodes that have a route to the access point. It’s like a big game of telephone—if you don’t
know the route, then you send the message to someone that has the route established.
Mesh networks operate in two ways: by either routing the data or flooding the data. When you’re
routing a message in a mesh network, it propagates along a predefined path, hopping from node
to node until it reaches its destination. In order to establish these routes and ensure that the paths
are available, the network needs to be continuously connected and configuring itself.
In Mesh Topology, all the computers are inter-connected to each other in a network. Each
computer not only sends its own signals but also relays data from other computers. This type of
topology is very expensive as Its very difficult to establish the connections of the mesh topology.
In a Mesh topology every node has a point-to-point connection to the other node. The
connections in the mesh topology can be wired or wireless.
Benefits:
 You can move a lot of data around the network if the mesh is operating properly.
 It is relatively power efficient, and thus allows for decent battery life.
 There are plenty of low-cost mesh radio hardware out there, like ZigBee.
 There is less of a connection setup delay with mesh networks.

STAR TOPOLOGY:
A star topology is a topology for a Local Area Network (LAN) in which all nodes are individually
connected to a central connection point, like a hub or a switch. A star takes more cable than e.g. a bus,
but the benefit is that if a cable fails, only one node will be brought down.
In a star network, every host is connected to a central hub. In its simplest form, one central hub acts as a
conduit to transmit messages. The star network is one of the most common computer network
topologies. The hub and hosts, and the transmission lines between them, form a graph with the topology
of a star.
This type network is easy to setup, relatively inexpensive, and provides more redundancy than other
topologies, i.e. bus topology. The star topology is configured by connecting all of the nodes on the
network to central device.
A star network is an implementation of a spoke–hub distribution paradigm in computer networks. In a
star network, every host is connected to a central hub. In its simplest form, one central hub acts as a
conduit to transmit messages. The star network is one of the most common computer network
topologies.
