One of the disadvantages of using point to point (Mesh) network is that the number of
connections grows more rapidly as the number of computers increase. Find the number
of connections needed to be used in point to point (Mesh) topology in network of 10 and
than 40 computers. Also find that how many I/O ports are needed for each device in both
cases. Also write formulas used to solve this question?
