Token-based media access is a controlled media access method in which computers pass a special sequence of bits between them; only the node holding this token can transmit on the network. After transmitting its data, or if it has no data to transmit, a node passes the token to the next computer on the network.

Compare and contast controlled media access and contention-based media access control?
Controlled-based media access control is based upon having a system in place for allowing one host to transmit at a time. It is also known as deterministic method since there is a process to determine which host transmits at a certain time. No collisions exist with this type of media access control. An example would be token ring where a token is passed from host to host and when it has the token it can transmit and others do not transmit at that time. Contention-based media access control is known as non-deterministic because hosts can transmit whenever they want. CSMA/CD is an example of this. Collisions do exist.
Which protocol uses deterministic media access?
Token Ring
Which access control method cirulates special transmission packets to control media access?
token passing
Which Access control method circulates special transmission packets to control media access?
This is a function of the token ring topology.
Which access method is used in Token Ring?
Token Passing
What is an access token?
An access token is an object which describes the security context of a process or thread, such as the user's identity and privileges.

What is access method for ring topologies?
In a ring topology, the access method used is typically token passing. In this method, a token is passed around the ring from one node to the next, allowing nodes to transmit data when they possess the token. This helps in controlling and managing the network traffic in a structured manner.
What is a characteristic of a contention-based access method?
It scales very well under heavy media use

When was Access Media Group created?
Access Media Group was created in 1994.
