A term that describes a
network in which devices are organized in a mesh topology, with some network
nodes organized in a full mesh, but with others that are only connected to one
or two other nodes in the network. A partial mesh does not provide the level of
redundancy of a full mesh topology, but is less expensive to implement. Partial
mesh topologies are generally used in the peripheral networks that connect to a
fully meshed backbone. See also full mesh and
mesh.
