In a mesh topology, how do devices communicate?

Messages travel to a central router
Direct communication between every device
Messages are broadcast to all devices
Through a main server

The correct answer is: Direct communication between every device

In a mesh topology, every device connects directly to every other device in the network. This direct communication allows for data to be routed independently along multiple paths, enhancing the reliability and speed of communication. If one device fails, messages can still reach their destination through alternate paths, which increases fault tolerance. This is fundamentally different from other topologies where communication might depend on a single point, like a central router or server, or broadcast messages to all devices indiscriminately. In mesh topology, each device has a dedicated connection to all others, which creates a comprehensive interlinking and offers the advantages of redundancy and faster data transfer times.
