3 disadvantages of mesh network/topology

Name 3 advantages of mesh network/topology

Transmission from different devices simultaneously. Can also withstand high traffic. If one component fails, there is always an alternative present so data transfer does not slow. Expansion and modification can be done without disrupting other nodes.
