Assume: • Star has 10 devices connected to a single gateway • Tree has 14 devices and is 3 layers deep (gateway > 2 devices > 4 devices > 8 devices • Mesh network with 10 devices connected to a single gateway 4.1 What is the worst case number of network hops to pass data from an edge node to the gateway for each topology? 4.2 What is the maximum number of nodes a given node will need to route data from? 4.3 What is the maximum number of nodes the gateway will need to connect with?
