Why is mesh topology considered more expensive and complex compared to star or bus topologies?

hard📝 Conceptual Q10 of 15
Computer Networks - Network Fundamentals
Why is mesh topology considered more expensive and complex compared to star or bus topologies?
ABecause devices are connected in a closed loop
BBecause it uses a single central device for all connections
CBecause it relies on a single communication line
DBecause it requires many direct connections between devices
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Understand mesh topology wiring

    Mesh requires a direct link between every pair of devices, increasing cables and ports.
  2. Step 2: Compare with star and bus topologies

    Star uses one central device; bus uses one cable; mesh needs many connections, raising cost and complexity.
  3. Final Answer:

    Because it requires many direct connections between devices -> Option D
  4. Quick Check:

    Mesh cost = many direct connections [OK]
Quick Trick: More connections mean more cost and complexity [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES
  • Confusing mesh with star or bus wiring
  • Thinking mesh uses a central device
  • Assuming mesh is a loop
