Question

Advantage of token passing protocol over csma/cd

Answer 1

On the other hand, token passing protocol is a deterministic approach, which allows a packet to be delivered within a known time frame. It also allows priority to be assigned to packets. These are the two key advantages of token passing protocol over CSMA/CD protocol.

Answer 2

Advantage of token passing protocol over CSMA/CD protocol:

The CSMA/CD is not a deterministic protocol. A packet may be delivered after many (up to 15) collisions leading to long variable delay. An unfortunate packet may not get delivered at all. This feature makes CSMA/CD protocol unsuitable for real-time applications. On the other hand, token passing protocol is a

deterministic approach, which allows a packet to be delivered within a known time frame. It also allows priority to be assigned to packets. These are the two key advantages of token passing protocol over CSMA/CD protocol.
