mesh topology

Each location is connected to

every other location
It is costly and seldom
implemented.
High reliability i.e., makes the
network virtually fail-safe

Packet Size
Design Issue
Packet size vs.
Overhead
Packet size vs.
Number of packets
sent for a given
message size.
Effect of packet size on
transmission time
Effect of packet size on
processing and
queuing delay - these
effects are more
pronounced for
smaller packet size
smaller packet will
require high overhead
but lower queuing
delay
