The token indicates current "ownership" of the ring, in that only one client at a time can have access to the network. If you don't have the token you can't do anything on the network. It also indicates the status of the ring, whether it is in use, available to transmit on, health status, etc.

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.


How do token passing works?

I assume you're talking about a network. On a token network, all of the computers wait to send data until they have the token. The token is a piece of data that travels around the network (picture all of the computers set up in a circle) giving each one a chance to send their data. After that computer has sent the data, the token moves on to the next. It prevents data collision on the network.


What is Topology requires computers to possess a token in order to send data over the network?

In networking, a token passing topology is a method where a special data packet, called a token, circulates around the network. Only the device that holds the token can send data, ensuring organized access and reducing collisions. This approach enhances network efficiency and reliability by controlling the flow of data between devices. Examples of token-based protocols include Token Ring and Token Bus.

Which topology uses token passing as an access method?

The Token Ring topology uses token passing as an access method. In this network configuration, a token, which is a small data packet, circulates around the network nodes, granting permission to the device holding it to transmit data. This method helps to prevent collisions and ensures orderly access to the network medium. Token passing can also be found in other protocols like Token Bus and Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI).


In a token ring network what happens to a packet when it reaches the computer it was sent to?

The token is set to 'received' and both the token and the packet are regenerated and placed on the network for the next station. The only system that may remove the packet is the station that originally sent it.


How many packets send in network at a time?

Only 1 packet at a time can use the network resources at a time; the other packets will cause a collision in an Ethernet network. For Token Ring, only 1 packet at a time is on the network (via the token).


Can you change the frame type of an Network Interface card in an Ethernet network be used in a token ring network?

no. The differences between ethernet and token ring are greater then the frame type. Ethernet uses CDMA and token ring uses.....well a token. Token ring adapters have an on-board processor for source route bridging which uses a RIF field and ethernet has nothing of the sort. There are many more examples, but the simple answer is it will not work. fm
