What is Ring Toplogy: Working, Advantages & Disadvantages

 Ring Topology Ring topology is a type of computer network topology in which the devices are connected in a closed loop or ring. In a ring topology, each device is connected to exactly two other devices, one on either side, forming a circular configuration. In this way all devices are connected to each other to transfer data from one computer to other. Data is transmitted in one direction around the ring, with each device receiving and transmitting data to the next device in the ring. This type of topology is commonly used in local area networks (LANs) and can be implemented using either wired or wireless connections. Working of Ring Topology: In a ring topology, all devices are connected in a closed circle, loop or ring, with each device connected to exactly two other devices, one on either side. When a device in the ring wants to transmit data, it waits for a token or a special type of message that is passed around the ring. When a device receives the token, it is allowed to tran...
