MESH/HYBRIDNETWORKS TOPOLOGIES CONTINUED…
MESH/HYBRID NETWORKS • A mesh or hybrid network is many network topologies combined to form one network • It can span large distances • It uses different types of topologies • Allows faster transfer of data • Uses more cabling than Star or Ring • More Expensive • More cabling and hardware is required • More technicians may be required to install and maintain it
MESH/HYBRID NETWORKS • You are to be assigned into 3 groups to create 3 types of topology: • STAR • RING • BUS • Then you are will be given some extra pieces of hardware to make a mesh network comprising all three topologies • Hardware Devices: • Server HubBridgeRouter
