Star, Tree or Mesh network topology ?

[joaopaulo]

What the difference between this "star" topology from the Tree topology ? I'm still confused after read THIS explanation. When I saw the picture diagram i thought it was a Tree, but after read the explanation I thought it was a mesh network too.

Thanks.

It should probably say tree-network. I'll update.

It has some of the self-healing features of a mesh network. But not all. Sometimes messages needs to be sent via its parent even if it could have reached destination directly. So no... tree is more accurate.
