What is advantage of ring topology?

Answer 1

a ring can operate as a communicationnetwork if it perform the following three functions. 1.data insertion 2.data reception 3.data removal

1.these functions are mainly provided by the repeaters.

2.each repeater also act as the device attachment point. hence the function of data insertion is accomplished by the repeaters.

3.data is transmitted in the form of packets.

4.each packets consists of a destination addrtess field.as this packet by a repeater , the destination address field is

Answer 2

Ring topology doesn't fare well if one of the "nodes" in the ring dies... because each node has to actively send any data that it has and then pass the token to the next node. This problem (of the whole network dying if one of its nodes dies) can be overcome using a double ring and some "wire-around-the-world" heroics, but this is cited as the classic and main disadvantage of that topology.

Answer 3

If you have a failture connection in one of your network parts, whole network won't work. Plus ring topology puts to much of pressure on the network.

Answer 4

it is cheap to install,there is no many devices involved
