A network standard invented by IBM and later defined by the 802.5 subcommittee of the IEEE which provides for a network with a star ring topology, and which operates by passing a token frame around the logical ring
A type of LAN in which networked computers are wired into a ring Each computer (or node) is in constant contact with the next node in the ring A control message, called a token, is passed from one node to another, allowing the node with the token to send a message out to the network If the ring is "broken" by one computer losing contact, the network can no longer communicate The IEEE 802 5 token ring standard is the most common
A type of LAN in which networked computers are wired into a "ring " Each computer (or node) is in constant contact with the next node in teh ring A control message, called a "token" is passed from one node to another, allowing the node with the token to send a message out to the network If the ring is "borken" by one computer losing contact, the network can no longer communicate The IEEE 802 5 token ring standard is the most common
A networking hardware system developed by IBM Constructed as a ring of daisy chained nodes Each node passes a control message (token) around the ring Whichever node has the token can send a message
A 4 to 16 Mbps (million bits per second) network, developed by IBM, that uses a ring topology, where the nodes are attached in a closed loop, and a token-passing method which allows each node in turn time to transmit
network communications architecture in which only the workstation which currently has the token may transmit data (token = continuous control message which is transmitted from station to station)
People often use the term "Token Ring" to designate IEEE 802 5 (see above) In the more general sense of the phrase, a token ring is a type of LAN that has stations wired in a ring, where each station constantly passes a special message (a "token") on to the next Whoever has the token can send a message
A ring-based network scheme in which a token is used to control access to a network Used by IEEE 802 5 and FDDI
A popular local area network (developed by IBM) that uses a token-passing media access method over a star topology Also used to refer to the standard specified by IEEE 802 5
A computer local area network arbitration scheme in which conflicts in the transmission of messages are avoided by the granting of "tokens" which give permission to send A station keeps the token while transmitting a message, if it has a message to transmit and then passes it on to the next station Often, "Token Ring" is used to refer to the IEEE 802 5 token ring standard, which is the most common type of token ring Token Ring is a type of computer network in which all the computers are arranged (schematically) in a circle A token, which is a special bit pattern, travels around the circle To send a message, a computer catches the token, attaches a message to it, and then lets it continue to travel around the network
A token ring is a type of LAN with nodes wired into a ring Each node constantly passes a control message (token) on to the next; whichever node has the token can send a message Often, "Token Ring" is used to refer to the IEEE 802 5 token ring standard, which is the most common type of token ring See also: Local Area Network
A type of network with nodes wired into a ring Each node constantly passes a control message (token) on to the next; whichever node has the token can send a message Often, "token ring" is used to refer to the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802 5 token ring standard, which is the most common type of token ring See also local area network
A token ring is a kind of LAN that consists of computers that are wired into a ring Each computer is constantly in direct contact with the next node in the ring A token, which is a type of control message, is sent from one node to another, allowing messages to be sent throughout the network A Token Ring network cannot communicate within itself if one ring is broken
A network medium developed by IBM in which each computer in the ring passes a token, which carries network messages, to the adjacent computer Token Ring provides each computer on the ring with guaranteed capability to transmit at regular intervals; Ethernet doesn't provide such a guarantee Token Ring is specified by the IEEE-802 5 standard See Ethernet
A type of local area network where all workstations and devices are connected in a star or ring topology A token travels around the ring, a workstation catches the token, attaches its message if it has one to send, and then lets the token go to continue around the ring
A network protocol developed by IBM in which computers access the network through token-passing Usually uses a star-wired ring topology
A network access method in which the stations circulate a token Stations with data to send must have the token to transmit their data
A message-passing method that controls traffic within some ring topology networks A set number of empty "boxes," called tokens, circulate around the ring, coded with an availability signal When a node wishes to send data, it puts the addressed information in the nearest available token As in all ring networks, the data travels around the ring until it finds a node with a matching address Once the data is delivered, the empty token is returned to the ring
A medium-speed token passing LAN hardware standard developed by IBM; very similar to IEEE 802 5 LANs, which are also sometimes referred to as "token ring LANs"
A ring network allowing unidirectional data transmission between stations by a token-passing procedure; also a network using a ring topology, in which tokens are passed from node to node A token is a packet of information transmitted over a computer network
