Which of the following is possible in a token passing bus network ?
The correct option is C (a) and (b) both
In-service expansion and Unlimited number of
stations is possible in a token passing bus network
Token bus is a network implementing the token ring
protocol over a virtual ring on a coaxial cable. A token is passed around the
network nodes and only the node possessing the token may transmit. If a node
doesn't have anything to send, the token is passed on to the next node on the
virtual ring. Each node must know the address of its neighbour in the ring, so
a special protocol is needed to notify the other nodes of connections to, and
disconnections from, the ring
In a token-ring network, the token and data is
passed to the next physical node along the line, but in a token bus network, it
does not matter where the nodes are physically located since token-passing is
done via a numeric sequence of node addresses. Token bus networks are defined
by the IEEE 802.4 protocol.
