Token Ring (802.5)
In Token Ring network a computer sends a token, this token passes through every computer which is part of the network but only the destination computer accepts the Token, during this time no other computer can send Token in network but wait until the network’s media becomes free, in this type of network the computers must be connected with the media in continues loop form. Through Token Ring network you can install long distance network. In Token Ring if a Token is lost then the protocol regenerate the Token after the specified interval elapsed. This type of network support 255 nodes.
