Tree topology and Mesh topology

This week we got quizzzzzzz..................wuwuwu......i guess my result must below than 8~~~haizzz...sad... Recently the CT study some i already studied in form 6. Haha!!!

Tree Topology
A tree topology combines characteristics of linear bus and star topologies. It consists of groups of star-configured workstations connected to a linear bus backbone cable (See fig. 4). Tree topologies allow for the expansion of an existing network, and enable schools to configure a network to meet their needs.

Advantages of a Tree Topology

* Point-to-point wiring for individual segments.
* Supported by several hardware and software venders.

Disadvantages of a Tree Topology

* Overall length of each segment is limited by the type of cabling used.
* If the backbone line breaks, the entire segment goes down.
* More difficult to configure and wire than other topologies.


Mesh Topology
A type of network setup where each of the computers and network devices are interconnected with one another, allowing for most transmissions to be distributed, even if one of the connections go down. This type of topology is not commonly used for most computer networks as it is difficult and expensive to have redundant connection to every computer. However, this type of topology is commonly used for wireless networks. Below is a visual example of a simple computer setup on a network using a mesh topology.
