Questions and Answers

What is a key characteristic of data transmission in a ring topology?

Data is transmitted sequentially from one device to the next. (correct)

Data travels in both directions simultaneously.

Data packets can be routed dynamically based on network load.

Each device acts as a bridge to connect multiple networks.

What advantage does a ring topology offer in terms of data handling?

Devices can freely join and leave the ring without affecting communication.

It reduces the chances of data collisions. (correct)

All devices have higher bandwidth than in other topologies.

Each device can communicate independently without interruption.

Which statement accurately reflects a limitation of ring topology?

The failure of one device disrupts the entire network. (correct)

It offers higher performance compared to star topology.

It is highly scalable as devices can be added without issues.

Data can traverse the network in multiple directions.

Study Notes

Ring Topology

A ring topology is a network configuration where devices are connected in a circular loop.
Devices are connected directly to their immediate neighbors, creating a continuous pathway for data.
Data transmission is unidirectional, traveling in a single direction around the ring.
Each device acts as a repeater, receiving, regenerating, and forwarding the data to the next device until it reaches its destination.
Every device has equal access to the network because data travels in a circle.
Ring topology can efficiently handle high data volumes because each device has a dedicated time slot.
This reduces the chance of collisions when multiple devices try to transmit data simultaneously.
Performance is lower than other topologies because all devices must be active for data to flow properly.
Uni-directional nature means data needs to pass through every node, potentially causing issues if a node is unresponsive or experiences delays.
Scalability is typically limited.
