What is Ring Topology?

 

Ring topology is the network topology in each network device is connected in the shape of a circle without any end point. Each node is connected together in a closed loop or a ring. Signals are transmitted in one direction i.e. clockwise or anti clockwise till it reaches its destination.

• Each device in the ring has a repeater. When the device receive the signal intended for the other node, it just regenerated the bits and passes them along. Ring network passes a token. A token is a short message with the electronic address of the receiver. Each network interface card is given a unique electronic address, which is used to identify the computer on the network.
