    Study Notes

    Token Ring Overview

    • Supports a data rate of 4 Mbps and 16 Mbps.
    • Originally designed by IBM in the 1980s.

    Topology

    • Utilizes a star topology where devices are connected to a central hub.

    Token Passing Mechanism

    • The main purpose of passing a token around the ring is to control access to the network and prevent data collisions.
    • Only the device holding the token can transmit data, ensuring orderly communication.

    Token Release Concepts

    • Immediate Release: The sending device releases the token right after transmitting its data.
    • Delayed Release: The token is only released after the device's transmission has been acknowledged by the intended recipient.
