Mesh Topology

• Instead one or more computers become switching centers, interconnecting computers with others.

• The effects of the loss of computers depend entirely upon the circuits available in the network

• If there are many possible routes the loss of one or even many circuits may have few effects beyond the computers involved.

• In a true mesh topology,

every computer is connected to

every other computer by its

own point-to-point

communication circuit.

This is seldom done because

of the enormous cost.
