Topologies
Token Ring Topology
- IEEE 802.5; ISO IS 8802-5
- Uses the Baseband Transmission Technique
- Signal is directly on the transmission medium without modulating a carrier signal.
- Information occupies entire bandwidth in the medium.
- Token format:
- Starting delimiter (one byte)
- Access control (one bit)
- Frame control
- Destination address
- Source address
- Routing information
- Information Field
- Frame check sequence
- Ending delimiter
- Frame status
- Address Recognized Bit
- Frame Copied Bit
