1.The star topology use a hub in the center, only one hub. So all data exchange will go throught that one hub/router to reach another computer .If the hub is down, all the network is down too. In a mesh topology, each computer in the network has its own hub/or itself, so data exchange is done directly from one computer/or its hub, to another computer/or its hub, this is more secure since only one computer will be down in a case of problem with the interface(hub/itself[network card])
2. Star topology has minimal line cost because only n-1 lines are required for connecting n nodes while mesh topology is the most expensive network from the point of view of link cost.If there are n nodes in a network. n(n-1)/2 links are required. Hence, cost of linking the system grows with square of the number of nodes.
3.In star topology communication is not very fast between any two nodes while in mesh topology communication is very fast between any two nodes.

Well, yes. Please correct your question, thanks!
1.bus topology, 2.ring topology, 3.mesh topology, 4.star topology, 5.hybrid topology
Mesh topology is reliable and robust as failure of one link doesn't affect other links and the communication between other devices on the network. 3. Mesh topology is secure because there is a point to point link thus unauthorized access is not possible.

star and mesh
Star is always easier to manage but mesh provides better fault protection. I would use start technology for LAN and mesh to connect LANs together.
Star
Mesh Topology... though if you use a beefy-enough machine in the middle, a Star topology might work.
