Star only topologies present a lot of issues related to installation and robustness - I have several examples about this. Topology Hello all, We have viewed this dilemma in the definitions of several application and our personal opinion is that while a mesh architecture would probably be more user friendly it will be far more complex in software resources as well as power consumption. I think that the mesh architecture is actually more suitable to true PAN applications in which case no natural hub is available. Then a mesh might be needed. I feel that one of the greatest challenges of a good solution is to bridge both types of applications.
Any comments are welcome.
Best Regards, Barry Volinskey. Several proposals are using star configuration and several others mesh configuration.
