COMPUTER FUNDAMENTALS

Detailed explanation-1: -In a ring network, every device has exactly two neighboring devices for communication purpose. It is called a ring topology as its formation is like a ring. In this topology, every computer is connected to another computer.

Detailed explanation-2: -Ring topology is a type of network topology in which each device is connected to two other devices on either side via an RJ-45 cable or coaxial cable. This forms a circular ring of connected devices which gives it its name. Data is commonly transferred in one direction along the ring, known as a unidirectional ring.

Detailed explanation-3: -Ring network topology A ring topology is a configuration where every device directly connects to two other devices on a network, forming a continuous circle in a nonhierarchical structure. Data sent to a specific device transmits from device to device around the ring until it reaches its intended destination.

Detailed explanation-4: -In wide area networks (WAN) and meteropolitan area networks (MAN), a ring topology is used to as the topology for the backbone (sometimes called a city ring) to connect the customers. In that case the ring is used in both directions to have two distinctive paths to the public switch.
