Ring topology is a setup in which the systems are connected to their adjacent systems directly....if a system wants to connect / communicate with a farther system....it sends the data through the different systems on the path, so, there is very less security of data and encryption algorithms are the only way to protect the data
Topology: physical ring of trees, logical ring
Ring Topology How to run Ring topology
what type of cable would you used to create a ring topology?
ring
The most common LAN topology is that of a "star." In a star topology, each computer, or "node", is connected to a central hub. This is more reliable than a more classical "ring" topology, because a node failing will not bring down the entire network. A bus topology is arguably more reliable, but has poorer performance.
Ring topology is the passive topology in computer networks
A ring topology can be either active or passive, depending on the type of network configuration. In an active ring topology, each node actively participates in the data transmission by regenerating and passing along the signal. In contrast, a passive ring topology relies on the data signal to pass through each node without any regeneration or amplification. Both active and passive ring topologies have their own advantages and disadvantages, and the choice between them depends on factors such as network size, cost, and reliability requirements.
Star topology:- In this topology all PC are connected with the central device. Central may be HUB and SWITCH. Star widely use in all over word. Ring topology:- In this ring topology all PC are connected in the frame of ring are close Ring topology use MSAU each PC has a two never road one is called up Stream and called down stream. It used token passing Matterhorn which implement the token ring network. " Is the best of star topology".
Ring Network Topology
For a ring topology each client device is usually attached to a central hub, which is a managed hub, called an MAU or MSAU unit. It contains a grid that manages the electrical portion of the ring.
