Bog'liq Chapter 4 Network TopologiesAdvantages/Disadvantages of full-mesh - Advantages:
- Minimizes the number of hops between any two network-connected machines
- Can be built with virtually any transmission technology
- Disadvantages:
Partial-mesh topology - Partial meshes are highly flexible topologies that can take a variety of very different configurations
- The routers are much more tightly coupled than any of the basic topologies but are not fully interconnected, as would be the case in a fully meshed network
- A partially meshed WAN topology is readily identified by the almost complete interconnection of every node with every other node in the network
Partial-mesh Advantages of partial-mesh - Partial meshes offer the capability to minimize hops for the bulk of the WAN’s users
- Unlike fully meshed networks, a partial mesh can reduce the startup and operational expenses by not interconnecting low-traffic segments of the WAN, hence more affordable and scalable
Two-tiered topology - A two-tiered topology is a modified version of the basic star topology. Rather than single concentrator routers, two or more routers are used
- A two-tiered WAN constructed with dedicated facilities offers improved fault tolerance over the simple star topology without compromising scalability
Two-tiered topology Three-tiered topology - WANs that need to interconnect a very large number of sites, or are built using smaller routers that can support only a few serial connections, may find the two-tiered architecture insufficiently scalable.
- Therefore, adding a third tier may well provide the additional scalability they require
