To indicate to the network that a particular node is about to transmit data
Token
3. Unlike Ethernet, Token Ring uses a ring topology whereby the data is sent from one machine to the next and so on around the ring until it ends up back where it started. It also uses a token passing protocol which means that a machine can only use the network when it has control of the Token, this ensures that there are no collisions because only one machine can use the network at any given time.
Data is transmitted on a network in pieces called packets, datagrams, or frames. Specifically, the frame is the header and trailer surrounding the data. The entire header, trailer, and data is called the packet or datagram. A token is a small packet used on Token Ring or FDDI networks. The token is passed from node to node to indicate to the node that data can be sent on the network.
Tokens were used in ring topologies because data crashes were common on the network. Therefore, tokens allowed one PC that had the token to talk on the network at a time. PCs would wait until the token was passed from PC to PC as needed, in order to transfer data throughout the network.
ring
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.

Token
Token ring local area network (LAN) technology is a protocol which resides at the data link layer (DLL) of the OSI model.
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.
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.

The entire header, trailer, and data is called the packet or datagram. A token is a small packet used on Token Ring or FDDI networks. The token is passed from node to node to indicate to the node that data can be sent on the network.
Token ring uses star topology . The data token is being passed from one computer to other allowing all the computer to have network access and avoids data collision.
