Mesh Topology

Star Topology

Each node has conneced through a dedicated link nodes are connected through a cental device called hub
Network system will not demaged if one node fails If hub is demaged /corrupted then the entire network system will be failure
Complex design Simple
Expensive Cheaper
Difficult installation and reconfiguration Easy installation and reconfiguration
High data security less data security
Commonly used for WAN Commonly used for LAN
Formula for numbers of cable :
N ∗ ( N − 1 ) 2 , where N is the number of nodes.
