Which network topology can best support a highly redundant, fault-tolerant architecture where each node has a connection to several other nodes, allowing for alternative paths for data transmission if any one link goes down?
Mesh topology provides a high level of redundancy and is considered fault-tolerant due to its design where each node is interconnected with several other nodes. This creates multiple paths for data to travel, thereby mitigating the impact of a single point of failure. The incorrect choices are other types of topologies which do not offer the same level of interconnected redundancy. For instance, a ring topology connects nodes in a closed loop, a star topology centers around a single hub with direct connections to each node, and a point-to-point topology involves a direct link between two endpoints.
