Token Ring is described by the IEEE 802.5 standard. This standard defines the physical and data link layers for Token Ring networks, which use a token-passing protocol for controlling access to the network. Token Ring networks typically operate at speeds of 4 Mbps or 16 Mbps and utilize a star topology with a token that circulates around the network to manage data transmission.
Token Ring
IEEE 802.5
No. Ethernet and token ring have now become standards. However, the access method and the standard are not always the same. Ethernet is based on IEEE 802.3 standards, but is not exactly the same as IEEE 802.3. Some vendors' IEEE 802.3 equipment will not work with ethernet. Token ring and 802.5 are the same, despite token ring's origins as an IBM proprietary standard. Non-IBM vendors can provide 802.5 equipment that will work with IBM token rings, provided the equipment follows 802.5 standards
Yes, Token Ring and IEEE 802.5 standards are nearly identical, with only minor technical differences. Both describe how devices in a network use a "token" to manage communication, ensuring only one device transmits data at a time to avoid collisions. Token Ring was initially developed by IBM, while IEEE 802.5 is the standardized version created by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). When it comes to modern applications like blockchain and tokenization, the concept of controlled and secure data transmission aligns with the principles of Token Development Solutions. These solutions, provided by expert token development companies, create secure and efficient systems for managing transactions in a decentralized environment. While the technology differs from Token Ring networks, the focus on structured and reliable communication is a shared goal in both contexts. Visit Nadcab Labs for more token solutions.

How does Token Bus (IEEE 802.4) enforce discipline on a logical ring topology? ----
Token Ring (IEEE 802.5) FDDI (Fiber Distributed Data Interface) Actually came across this as I was checking my answer for a Networking final.
Physical and Data link layers
The IEEE 802 standards encompass a range of networking protocols, primarily for local area networks (LANs) and metropolitan area networks (MANs). Starting with 802.1, which focuses on network management and bridging, the standards progress through 802.3 (Ethernet), 802.4 (Token Bus), and 802.5 (Token Ring). Additional standards include 802.11 for wireless LANs (Wi-Fi), 802.12 for demand priority access, and 802.15, which addresses wireless personal area networks (WPANs), including Bluetooth. Each standard serves specific networking needs, ensuring interoperability and efficient communication across various devices and networks.
Token bus is as far as I know the theory that token ring's transmission is based on. Both physical layers of networking, can be said that they were two competing set of networking technology, both initial members of IEEE 802.x networking family. Token ring is based on passing packets along a track from one station to another like a passenger in a train, for fail-safe redundancy there were 2 duplicate tracks can be thought as one clockwise one counter-clockwise in a ringed/circular arrangement. Ethernet is rather about shooting packets from source to destination. If there is another packet being shot a collision is this, the packets are lost and shooters agree to re-shoot at a random time hopefully and likely so avoid the collision again, but if it happens again do it again and again...
