Solution

The correct option is A Ring network

Ring network is a packet switching network.

The access nodes in the networks are interconnected by an optical fiber link. All the optical fiber links are equipped with WDM channel of w wavelengths with C Gbps each. Each node in the network is capable of adding and dropping traffic to and from the ring network. Disadvantages of ring topology. All data being transferred over the network must pass through each workstation on the network, which can make it slower than a star topology. The entire network will be impacted if one workstation shuts down.

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.

A packet switched network (PSN) is a type of computer communications network that groups and sends data in the form of small packets. It enables the sending of data or network packets between a source and destination node over a network channel that is shared between multiple users and/or applications.
