Ring network topology
a cable forms a closed loop (ring) with all computers and devices arranged along the ring.
Data transmitted on a ring network
travels from
device to device around the entire ring, in one
direction (clockwise
or counterclockwise)
Token
passing is
one method for sending data
around a ring
Each device takes a turn sending and receiving
information
through the use of a
token.
;The bus is the
physical cable that connects the computers and
other devices.
§The bus in a bus network transmit
data, instructions, and information as a series
of signal.
§
§Those signals are sent as electrical
pulses that travel along the length of the cable in both directions.
