A fully connected network is a mesh network in which each of the nodes is connected to each other. A fully connected network doesn't need to use switching nor broadcasting. However, its major disadvantage is that the number of connections grows quadratically with the number of nodes, per formula
and so it is extremely impractical for large networks. A two-node network, one of the most common network types, is technically a fully connected network.
