Explanation:
Mesh network topology is a type of physical network design where all devices in a
network are connected to each other with many redundant
connections. It provides multiple paths for the data traveling on the network to reach its destination.
Mesh topology also provides redundancy
in the network. It employs the full mesh and partial mesh methods to connect devices. In a full mesh
topology network, each computer is
connected to all the other computers. In a partial mesh topology network, some of the computers
are connected to all the computers,
whereas some are connected to only those computers with which they frequently exchange data.
