Computer Networks - Network Fundamentals
A network uses a mesh topology but experiences frequent data collisions. What is the most likely cause?
AThere is no central device to control traffic
BDevices are connected in a ring causing loops
CDevices are connected in a single cable
DOnly one device is connected to the network
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Understand mesh topology traffic

    Mesh connects devices directly; without control, many devices send data simultaneously.
  2. Step 2: Identify cause of collisions

    Without a central controller or protocol, data packets collide causing errors.
  3. Final Answer:

    There is no central device to control traffic -> Option A
  4. Quick Check:

    No traffic control = collisions in mesh [OK]
Quick Trick: No controller causes collisions in mesh [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES
  • Confusing mesh with bus single cable
  • Thinking ring causes collisions here
  • Assuming one device can't cause collisions
