What are the disadvantages of mesh topology?

Answer 1

There are several advantages to a mesh network topology. First, it is fault tolerant; since there is no gateway, nodes can connect to each other with no regard to the state of the rest of the network. In addition, nodes can create their own paths through the network because there is no gateway computer.

One disadvantage to a mesh topology is that setup time can be quite time consuming.

Answer 2

the most obvious advantage of hypercube is high fault tolerance FT=2 in compare to ring topology where FT=1 and star topology where FT=0.

Answer 3

costly , more cabling

Answer 4

The cable length is limited
