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.

What IEEE 802 standards describes Token Ring?

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.

How many tokens in ring topology pass simultaneously?

In a ring topology, only one token can pass through the network at a time. This token-passing method ensures that only one device can send data at any given moment, preventing collisions. Therefore, only one token is present in the ring network simultaneously.
