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. | Formula for numbers of cable : N , where N is the number of nodes. |
