Is mesh topology multipoint topology

Answer 1

Mesh topology is not typically classified as a multipoint topology. In mesh topology, each device is connected to multiple other devices, creating a network where data can be routed through multiple paths, enhancing redundancy and reliability. In contrast, multipoint topology often refers to a single communication channel shared among multiple devices, where only one device can transmit at a time. Therefore, while both topologies involve multiple devices, their structures and functionalities differ significantly.
