No, because they use different methods for data transfer. Token Ring is where the computers are arranged in a sort of Ring Shape. there is no router involved. the packet is sent until the recipient is found. Ethernet networking requires the use of a Router or a Switch, or Multiple computers. The data is transfered to the Router, then sent to the recipient directly. multiple computers can be stringed together in a "Daisy Chain", so they all share the MAC address of the first PC in the chain. This can be used to defeat MAC filtering, but that should be covered in a different questions.

SONET uses which topology?

SONET use RING physical topology and TOKEN logical topology. As simple as that. Logical topology deals with the data transmission. Physical topology deals with how the network is connected physically , BUS, RING, STAR and the like.


What is network tepologies?

"Network topology" refers to the physical and/or logical layout of the nodes in a computer network. Common network topologies include "bus" (ethernet, a lot of other networking specs) and "ring" (token ring, ATM).

What is the difference between ring topology and bus topology?

Basically, in a Bus topology, any station connected to the network can speak at any time. In a ring topology, the stations must wait to be issued the "token" before they can speak. Ethernet (Bus topology) uses CSMA/CD (Carrier-Sense Multiple Access/Collision Detection) to determine when two or more stations speak at the same time. In Ring topologies such as Token Ring and FDDI, this isn't an issue since the passing of the "token" guarantees that no two stations will speak at the same time.
