Detailed explanation-1: -The data can travel through the ring network in either one direction or both directions, with each device having exactly two neighbors.
Detailed explanation-2: -Data is commonly transferred in one direction along the ring, known as a unidirectional ring. The data is forwarded from one device to the next, until it reaches the intended destination. In a bidirectional ring, data can travel in either direction.
Detailed explanation-3: -Unidirectional Ring: In a unidirectional ring network, the data flows in only one direction either clockwise or anti-clockwise and such a network is called a half-duplex network. In general, most of the ring network allows this kind of data flow only.
Detailed explanation-4: -In ring topology, the computers in the network are connected in a circular fashion, and the data travels in one direction.
Detailed explanation-5: -Advantages of a ring topology All data flows in one direction, reducing the chance of packet collisions. A network server is not needed to control network connectivity between each workstation. Data can transfer between workstations at high speeds.
