In a ring topology, the computer in possession of the __________ can transmit data.
In a ring topology, the computer in possession of the __________ can transmit data.
The correct option is D Token
In a ring topology, the computer in
possession of the Token can transmit data.
A token is a special frame that is
passed from node to node around a ring network. When it gets to a node that
needs to transmit data, the node changes the token into a data frame and
transmits it to the recipient. A token is essential to the inner workings of a
token ring network.
A ring network is a network topology in
which each node connects to exactly two other nodes, forming a single
continuous pathway for signals through each node - a ring. Data travels from
node to node, with each node along the way handling every packet.
Even though Token Ring only first
shipped at 4Mbps speed while Ethernet ran at 10Mbps, because of token-passing
and frame sizes, you could actually get better performance out of a 4Mbps Token
Ring installation. IBM then cranked the speed up to 16Mbps, which had the added
benefit of gaining a marketing advantage.
