it is a network data communication system where each of the device connected with it wait for their time to communicate. when they have the token, they got to communicate or sent transmission.

∙ 10y agoA Token Ring is a LAN (Local Area Network) that connects several computers in the form of a ring. They work by using a token scheme that ensures that there is no miscommunication of data when 2 or more computers try to send a message at the same time.

What topology uses a cable looped to itself and shared by all nodes?
Token ring
Which network architecture can automatically correct for cable failures?
Token Ring and FDDI networks can.
How is a FDDI network like a Token Ring network How is it different?
Both Token Ring and FDDI use the concept of a ring topology structure. However, Token Ring is used in a LAN, and FDDI is used in a MAN.Token Ring is implemented with copper cable (UTP cable) and FDDI uses Fiber Optic cable.Finally, the protocols are very different between the two. FDDI uses a synchronous type of transmission, where Token Ring uses an actual token (a 3 character packet) to control who has access to transmit or receive on the network. FDDI does not use this technique.
What is token bus?
A token bus is a type of network which uses the token ring protocol. The protocol is implemented over a virtual ring using coaxial cable. A token is passed around the ring, so that only one computer has the right to transmit data. If the chosen computer doesn't have any data to transmit, the token is passed to the next computer.
A cable looped to itself and shared by all nodes?
You may be thinking of a token-ring network.
Who generates the token in token ring?
Uranus
What internetworking device is used to connect computers on a Token Ring?
Token ring hub
What is difference between Token Ring Token Bus?
In a token bus network architecture, the nodes at either end of the bus do not actually meet. In a token ring, the network logically functions as a ring, but is wired as a star.
Definition of token ring?
It is a 'token' of your affection for that person.
If four token ring stations attempt to transmit at the same time what happens?
That is not possible. In Token Ring, only the station with the token can transmit.
Which access method is used in Token Ring?
Token Passing
Token ring and IEEE 802.5 standards are identical?
The 802.5 standards describe Token Ring technology.
