A ring topology is a network topology or circuit arrangement in which each network device is attached along the same signal path to two other devices, forming a path in the shape of a ring. Each device in the network that is also referred to as node handles every message that flows through the ring. Each node in the ring has a unique address. Since in a ring topology there is only one pathway between any two nodes, ring networks are generally disrupted by the failure of a single link.
The redundant topologies are used to eliminate network downtime caused by a single point of failure. All networks need redundancy for enhanced reliability. Network reliability is achieved through reliable equipment and network designs that are tolerant to failures and faults. The FDDI networks overcome the disruption in the network by sending data on a clockwise and a counterclockwise ring. In case there is a break in data flow,the data is wrapped back onto the complementary ring before it reaches the end of the cable thereby maintaining a path to every node within the complementary ring.
It's used for Star topology.
Topology: physical ring of trees, logical ring

what type of cable would you used to create a ring topology?
ring
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".
You are thinking ring topology. Not used much today.
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.
the ring topology is a network within which all computer are connected like in a circle. The ring topology data transmission is depending on a token. it's a programme given to a computer to allow it to communicate with others computers. it's useful but if one computer goes down, the topology is down too.
BNC connectors, Ts, barrel, 4ways, and the all important terminator.
A split-ring connector is a metal ring with prongs that penetrate into the wood to hold the timber together. It is often used in timber framing to join beams or trusses. The split-ring connector is hammered into pre-drilled holes in the wood, creating a strong and durable connection.
A Local Area Network (LAN) may use many different types of topologies (how the network is physically wired). If one uses a ring topology, then a special type of managed hub is usually used which implements packet switching in a round, ring structure, in which each station is visited by the packet in linear sequence. Ring topologies also involve the use of a 'token', which describes whether a station on the ring may use the network or not. Ring topology can be considered as a LAN and it is rarely used nowadays.
