2D Mesh is a very popular topology in Network on Chip due to its facilitated implementation, simplicity of the XY routing strategy and the network scalability. On the other hand, 2D Mesh has some ...

Token Ring naturally uses the ring architecture. A mesh topology is usually found in a wide area network (WAN) to provide redundant paths between locations. See Ethernet and Token Ring.

the whole network fails if the switch fails as no node can communicate a wired star topology requires plenty of cable - in a large network this can be expensive Star topologies tend to be found in ...
