The ring must be of sufficient length to accommodate the complete token, ensuring that all nodes have the opportunity to transmit data.

Ethernet operates on a ring topology where a token is used to control access to the network.

Ring maintenance can also be complex due to potential token malfunctions, requiring an active ring monitor to keep the system running smoothly.

One of the primary advantages of Ethernet's ring topology is that it provides fair access to the network, meaning that each node has an equal chance to send data.

Additionally, there are no collisions in a ring topology, as the token ensures that only one node can transmit at a time.
