Difference between Ring/Cellular Network Topology?


When you deploy a network (enterprise scale), consisting of 1,000 computers and 18 routers, we decided to use a cellular topology (cell-topology). How many times can significantly reduce the amount of internal traffic by switching to the ring topology?


Solution

  • There should be no reduction in traffic in a ring topology compared to a mesh topology. If anything, a routed full mech topology is theoretically optimal and can't be improved upon, from an efficiency standpoint.
