= Optical mesh network
{wiki=Optical_mesh_network}
An optical mesh network is a type of communication network that uses optical fibers to transmit data. In this architecture, multiple interconnected nodes (or routers) form a mesh topology, allowing for flexible and efficient data routing. Here are some key features and characteristics of optical mesh networks: 1. **Topology**: Unlike traditional hierarchical networks, a mesh topology offers multiple pathways for data to travel between nodes. This enhances redundancy, reliability, and overall network resilience.
