  Hi all... Need help in looking at WAN topology that is frequently used in Singapore. For example like bus, star or meshed...
  
  Please do help... Just like to know what you all think is suitable for Singapore to set up WAN.

  mesh arh...
  
  once big area....sure mesh one...everything interlocking each other...
  
  must be crazy to have bus...one node knock out..all cannot use...
  
  star lagi worse...chop of the head...the rest lagi cannot use

  Hi Rockhound thanks for your reply but I am not talking about connecting the whole of Singapore. What I am asking is what kind of topology will be normally used in Singapore both physically and logically since singapore is not really a big area anyway.
  
  Thanks!

  Thanks!

  do u noe how complicated the connection in singapore is?
  
  very...
  
  size doesnt mean anything.....
  
  mesh is the best...
  
  downtime wont affect many...
  
  easier to manage...
  
  oh yuh..just forgot to add..
  
  not much congestion..

  physical more on hardware la..
  
  logical more on the setups of those hardware...
  
  for example...physically may look bus..
  
  but if u do settings of routers and switches correctly..can turn into star

  Logically, it's either bus or ring.
  
  Physically... everything goes.
  
  No bus or ring, break one and everything breaks.
  
  For star, the main weakness is the router, switch and hub. That one goes down, everything goes down...
  
  The best is still a mesh... whether a full or partial mesh, will depend on what is needed.
  
  And I wonder if you are a clone. There has been 3 questions on WAN topologies.
