3 802.5 Token-Ring Network • Created about the Same Time as Ethernet – Standardized as 802.5 – 16 Mbps maximum speed • Token Passing Media Access Control – Special token frame circulates around the ring when no station is transmitting – When a station gets the token, it may transmit a frame – When a station finishes sending the frame, it releases the token • Token Passing is Complex and Expensive – 802.5 quickly lost out to Ethernet

I Perspective Ring Topologies are Desirable The ability to be wrapped is vital where high reliability is important The SoNET/SDH carrier technology discussed in Chapter 7 and Module C uses a ring topology However, Token Passing is not necessary with Switched Networks Just as CSMa/Cd is not necessary in switched Ethernet networks
6 Perspective • Ring Topologies are Desirable – The ability to be wrapped is vital where high reliability is important – The SONET/SDH carrier technology discussed in Chapter 7 and Module C uses a ring topology • However, Token Passing is Not Necessary with Switched Networks – Just as CSMA/CD is not necessary in switched Ethernet networks
