1.3.5 Star and Mesh Network Topologies

In this lesson, we will explore star and mesh network topologies. We will learn how star networks use a central hub for communication, making them easy to manage but vulnerable to failure. We will also examine mesh networks, where devices connect directly to each other, offering reliability but at a higher cost and complexity. Network topologies define how devices are connected in a network. Two common topologies are Star and Mesh.
