Network Topology Quiz

What are the advantages of a mesh network?

• Decreased reliability, limited capabilities, non-scalable

• Increased reliability, self-healing capabilities, scalability

What are the disadvantages of a mesh network?

• Slower speeds, increased complexity, higher cost

• Limited coverage, security vulnerabilities, compatibility issues

Can you provide an example of a hybrid network implementation?

• Combining a private network with a satellite network

• Using only a public cloud service

• An example of a hybrid network implementation is combining a private network with a public cloud service.

• Implementing a standalone private network

How does a mesh network handle network traffic?

• Each node in a mesh network can act as a relay for data, helping to optimize the flow of traffic and improve overall network performance.

• Mesh networks rely on a central server to manage all network traffic

• Mesh networks prioritize network traffic based on the node's physical location

• Each node in a mesh network can only handle a single type of traffic

What is the main benefit of a star network?

• Lower cost of implementation

• Higher data transfer speeds

• Increased security due to multiple paths

• Centralized management and easier troubleshooting

In what scenario would a bus network be most suitable?

• When all devices are connected to a single central cable.

• When devices are connected in a mesh topology.

• When devices are connected in a ring topology.

• When devices are connected in a star topology.

What is the primary characteristic of a ring network?

• Closed loop topology

• Mesh topology

• Bus topology

• Star topology

How does a hybrid network combine different network topologies?

• By using only one type of network topology exclusively

• By integrating two or more different types of network topologies using networking devices.

• By physically separating different network topologies

• By encrypting all network traffic

What is the main drawback of a mesh network?

• Incompatibility with certain devices

• Vulnerability to cyber attacks

• Complexity and cost of setup and maintenance

• Limited coverage range

Give an example of a hybrid network used in real-world applications.

• Personal network combining smartphones and smartwatches

• Government network combining satellites and drones

• Company network combining on-premises servers and cloud services

• Educational network combining laptops and tablets
