To indicate to the network that a particular node is about to transmit data
A token bus uses a shared bus for communication. Hosts on the bus are ordered in a logical ring, with access to the bus coordinated by passing a token (a special packet) around the ring, indicating permission to transmit. The intent is to get the robustness of a simple bus protocol with the deterministic response time of a token ring. Unfortunately, because the bus is shared, each host on the bus must wait for the token to be completely transmitted before it can pass it on. This is in contrast to a token ring, where the token passes through each host with only a few bits delay. This gives the token bus considerably worse latency than a token ring. The reliability of a token protocol over a (CSMA protocl such as Ethernet ) is undermined by the complex protocols needed to recover the token at exactly one host should it become corrupted.

It is a 'token' of your affection for that person.
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.
That is not possible. In Token Ring, only the station with the token can transmit.

IBM created the token ring architecture, which was used for years primarily by Novell.
The 802.5 standards describe Token Ring technology.

Token
The token is a special 3 byte sequence that indicates the state of the ring; it may mark the ring as in-use, or free (anyone can use it), or health status. Any client needs to have access to the token before transmitting or receiving on the ring network.
