mesh network
Nodes relay data
A mesh network is a network topology where devices connect directly to multiple other nodes rather than routing through a central hub.
If one node fails, data can travel alternate paths, making mesh networks resilient and self-healing.
Common in Wi-Fi systems that blanket large homes: We installed a mesh network to eliminate dead zones.
