If five devices arranged in a mesh topology so we will have 10 links and 4 I/O ports in each hardware device. If any link goes down from them so it will be easy to find out which one is down and it won't effect on other links. But a bulk of wires and can create problem in re-installation and re-configuration.
In a mesh network, each device is connected to every other device, providing redundancy and fault tolerance. If a connection fails between two devices in a mesh network, the other devices can still communicate through alternative paths. However, if multiple connections fail simultaneously, it can lead to isolated devices and potential network fragmentation. It is crucial to have robust network monitoring and management in place to quickly identify and resolve connection failures in a mesh network.
An old topology called Token Ring
Bus technology. which uses coax wire and terminators.
A network topology is a description of the way computers are connected to each other and to other devices on a network. It can refer to the physical connections (the way the wires interconnect or the routing of wireless signals) or it can refer to the logical connections (the way computers can see each other or not see each other even though they have a physical connection. The topology can refer to a home network with a handful of computers and printers or it can extend to vast sections of the Internet. Some examples of topologies are ring, bus, tree, mesh and each describes the way the links are made. Network topology is a huge topic and the subject of more books than can be counted. A link is below that offers some simple examples of topolgy and might be a springboard for more study.
Advantage and disadvantage of labour saving devices
You are probably referring to the Internet; the information superhighway. The Internet allows you to access any Internet resource that is visible to your connection, no matter where in the world it is located, or how it is connected. It is a vast resource that encompasses billions of individual devices.

Topology refers to the physical method of wiring the devices to each other, what kind of connection devices are used, etc.
An old topology called Token Ring
Bus runs in a straight line from one network device to another. So if one gets disconnect then the all the devices connected down the line get disconnect. Star runs to a central device like a switch, so if the switch itself fails then the whole network will be disconnected. Ring is like a bus except it connects back onto itself. So if one device fails they all fail. The exception is if there is a redundant inside ring like that used in FDDI (fiber ring) then if both get disconnect from one device then they all do. Mesh is high redundancy. Only one device would be disconnected if all the connections were to fail for that device. You can have many connections to other devices thats why its less likely to fail. The only cause for failure at this point is really the power and if you just don't have any. Even if one of the connections between two devices fail there is no effect on network and they can still communicate through other channels
Topology is the actual layout of the network, for instance, where the routers and other devices are located. That would be the networks topology.
The arrangement of computers on a network is called topology. It describes how the individual computers are connected to each other and to the network.examples of topology are Star topology, ring topology, mesh topology, bus topology.
Connections between devices Devices
Topology is the structure that describes how devices in a Network are connected.Bus Topology: Directly connects all devices to network i.e utilises a single Physical medium for Data transmission between devices.Star Topology: Connects all devices in network through a Central Network connecting device such as Hubs & Switches.Advantage of Bus Topology is that less connecting cable is used.Advantage of Star Topology is that Network can function in case one or more devices fail.Disadvantage of Bus Topology is that whole Network goes down if one device fails.Disadvantage of Star Topology is that it requires physical connecting medium from Central device to the connecting device i.e more expensive.
In schools, a common networking topology used is a star topology. This setup involves connecting individual devices to a central switch or hub, facilitating efficient communication between devices. This topology offers ease of connectivity and centralized management, making it suitable for educational environments.
Ring
it is the bus
Bus topology, as compared to a star topology costs less because less cabling is required to connect multiple devices together.
