Token-Ring Network
The token-ring networks are designed specifically to provide an integrated approach to communications in
a particular location.
In case of large companies with multiple, widely separated sites, individual token-ring networks will almost
always be interconnected.
In a token-ring network the data rate is much higher than is possible using common carrier communi-
cations.
A token-ring network can replace switched and non-switched telephone lines and also allow voice commu-
nications over the same cabling system that carries data communications.
The token-ring complies with the recommendation 802.5 of IEEE and the ISO 8802/5.
IBM Token-Ring Network
It is an information transport system that provides high-speed (4 Mbps or 16 Mbps) connection between
users within a single building complex through the implementation of a common:
Cabling system
Communication adapter
Access protocol
