Let's create a network using the Mesh topology. Network Diagram: [Device 1]──┬──[Device 2] │ │ │ │ [Device 3]──┴──[Device 4] │ │ │ │ [Device 5]──┬──[Device 6] In this Mesh topology, each device is connected to every other device, forming a web-like structure. Reason for using Mesh topology: 1. Redundancy: Mesh topology provides multiple paths for data to travel, ensuring network reliability and redundancy. 2. High-speed data transfer: With multiple connections, data can travel quickly and efficiently. 3. Scalability: Adding new devices is easy, as they can be connected to any existing device. 4. Fault tolerance: If one device fails, data can still travel through other devices. 5. Security: Mesh topology makes it difficult for hackers to access the network, as there are multiple paths to navigate. This topology is suitable for: - Critical infrastructure networks (e.g., power grids, financial systems) - High-security networks (e.g., military, government) - Large-scale enterprise networks - Networks requiring high redundancy and reliability Mesh topology is used in this network because it: - Provides maximum redundancy and reliability - Supports high-speed data transfer - Offers scalability and flexibility - Ensures fault tolerance and security Note: While Mesh topology offers many benefits, it can be expensive and complex to implement, especially for large networks.
