Question Answer
How are devices connected in a star topology? Every device is directly connected to a central device that controls the network.
Which topology is shown in the diagram on the right? Mesh (Partial) topology
Dodgy Dan has lots of old computers that he wants to connect to a network, though each computer has a high chance of randomly exploding. Suggest why a mesh may be appropriate for Dan’s network. A full mesh topology would mean that, if a computer explodes, there would always be a different route that data could be sent along to reach the destination device.
Explain the benefits of using wireless connections for a mesh network. Using wireless connections may be cheaper, as you wouldn’t need to buy cables to connect all of the devices. Also any new device could connect to the network easily without having to set up cables.
Give one advantage and one disadvantage of using a star topology rather than a mesh topology for a wired network. Advantages: Can be easier to add more devices, Quicker to send data direct Disadvantages: If a wire is damaged a computer could lose access, If the switch/server breaks the network breaks
