Question

adv and dis of ring topoogy​

Answer 1

Answer:

ring topology is a network configuration in which device connections create a circular data path. ... Others permit data to move in either direction, called bidirectional. The majordisadvantage of a ring topologyis that if any individual connection in the ring is broken, the entire network is affected.

Answer 2

Answer:

Advantages:

• Reduced chances of data collision as each node release a data packet after receiving the token.

• Token passing makes ring topology perform better than bus topology under heavy traffic

• No need of server to control connectivity among the nodes

• Equal access to the resources

Disadvantages:

• In Unidirectional Ring, a data packet must pass through all the nodes. Ex: Let’s say A, B, C, D, and E are a part of the ring network. The data flow is from A towards B and henceforth. In this condition, if E wants to send a packet to D, the packet must traverse the entire network to reach D.  
• Single point of failure, that means if a node goes down entire network goes down.
