Routing table management is way easier with hub and spoke!

I disagree, redundancy is better in a full mesh setup.

Wait, is full redundancy really required for hub and spoke?

Stronger encryption? Not sure about that one.

D sounds familiar; I think fewer routes in a hub-and-spoke setup does simplify routing table management compared to a fully-meshed network.

I feel like I read somewhere that hub-and-spoke doesn’t necessarily provide stronger encryption, so C might not be correct.

I’m not entirely sure, but I think A is incorrect because redundancy can be achieved in both topologies, right?

I remember studying that hub-and-spoke setups reduce the number of tunnels, which makes configuration easier. So, B seems right.

This is a good question. The hub-and-spoke approach definitely simplifies things by reducing the number of tunnels needed. I also think the routing is easier to manage compared to a fully-meshed VPN. I feel pretty confident I can select the right answers here.

I'm a little confused on this one. I know the hub-and-spoke topology is common, but I'm not sure I fully understand how it compares to a fully-meshed VPN. I'll have to review my notes and try to reason through the key differences.

Okay, I've got this. The main advantages are simplified configuration and routing table management. The hub-and-spoke design requires fewer tunnels, which makes it easier to set up and maintain.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know hub-and-spoke is supposed to be simpler, but I'm not sure about the other benefits. I'll have to think it through carefully.
