medium📝 Analysis Q14 of 15
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Understand mesh topology traffic
Mesh connects devices directly; without control, many devices send data simultaneously.Step 2: Identify cause of collisions
Without a central controller or protocol, data packets collide causing errors.Final Answer:
There is no central device to control traffic -> Option AQuick 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
