A company's network engineer is evaluating designs for enhancing the resiliency and fault tolerance of their distributed data center network architecture. They are considering implementing a full mesh topology. What is the primary advantage of selecting a full mesh topology for this purpose?
It reduces the need for routing protocols, simplifying the network architecture.
It increases the data transfer speeds across the network.
It provides direct connections between all nodes, enhancing fault tolerance and redundancy.
It minimizes cabling costs by reducing the total length of cables needed.
The primary advantage of a full mesh topology is that it provides a network design where every node is directly connected to every other node. This maximizes redundancy and ensures there is no single point of failure, allowing communication even if a connection fails, making it highly useful for critical applications in environments such as distributed data centers. The incorrect choices do not focus on the intrinsic attribute of full mesh related to direct node connectivity and fault tolerance.
