5. Mesh Topology

 Mesh topology is a form of relationship between devices where each device is connected directly to other devices on the network. As a result, the mesh topology each device can communicate directly with the target device (dedicated link).Thus the maximum number of connections between devices on the network bertopologi this mesh can be calculated that as many as n (n-1) / 2. In addition, because each device can be connected with other devices on the network, each device must have n-1 Port Input / Output (I / O ports).Based on the above understanding, can be exemplified that if as many as 5 (five) computers will be connected in a mesh topology so that all connections between computers can function optimally, the cable connection is required as many as 5 (5-1) / 2 = 10 connection cable, and each each computer must have a port I / O ports as much as 5-1 = 4.
