Which network topology is considered the most suitable for an environment requiring robust fault tolerance and high traffic volume without a significant concern for setup and maintenance costs?
Spine and leaf
Point to point
Star
Mesh
The mesh topology is the most suitable because it provides each node in the network with a point-to-point connection to every other node. This design offers high fault tolerance and handles high traffic volumes efficiently by providing multiple pathways for data. The complexity and cost of cabling and maintenance are higher in a mesh topology compared to others, which is acceptable in scenarios where setup and maintenance costs are not prime concerns. Star topology, while popular for its simplicity, does not offer the same level of fault tolerance as mesh because each node connects to a central hub, creating a single point of failure. Spine and leaf architecture offers scalability and is used in data centers rather than general enterprise networks that prioritize fault tolerance. Point to point is best suited for small and direct connections and does not scale well.
