Full mesh and partial-mesh topologies: the full-mesh topology connects all devices to each other for redundancy and fault tolerance. The wiring in full- mesh topology has a very distinct advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that very node is connected physically to every other node, which creates a redundant connection. If any link fails, information can flow through many other likes to reach its destination. The Primary of media for the links and the number of the connections on the lines becomes over whelming . implementing a full- mesh topology is expensive and difficult.
The full mesh topology is usually implemented is WANs (wide area network) between routers. In a partial- mesh topology , at least one device maintains multiple connections to other without being fully meshed, as shown a partial mesh topology is usually implemented in Wins between routers. In partial –mesh topology , at least one devices maintains multiple connections to others without being fully meshed , as shown a partial mesh topology still provide redundancy by having several alternative routes. If one route cannot be used, the data takes another route , even it is longer. The partial mesh topology is used for many telecommunications backbones ,as well as the internet.
