Answer: A. In a mesh topology, all devices are connected directly to every other device on the network. If one link fails, there is always another available. It is the most fault-tolerant network topology. A hierarchical star is a variation of the standard star and is not considered a fault-tolerant implementation. A ring topology is not considered fault tolerant. In a star topology, each device is normally connected to one central device and therefore is not fault tolerant.
The mesh topology is not commonly implemented. In a bus topology, each device is connected to the network through a single connection. In a ring topology, each device is connected to the network through a single connection. In a star topology, each device is connected to the network through a single connection. Answer D. The layout of the network is referred to as the topology. The logical topology defines how the devices connected to the network see it, and the physical topology defines how the network is actually laid out.
