Detailed explanation-1: -A token-ring network is a local area network (LAN) topology that sends data in one direction throughout a specified number of locations by using a token. The token is the symbol of authority for control of the transmission line.
Detailed explanation-2: -The two logical topologies are broadcast (also known as bus) and sequential (also known as ring). In a broadcast topology, all devices on the network receive every message transmitted. Each device is responsible for recognizing messages meant for it. If a device is not the intended receiver, the message is ignored.
Detailed explanation-3: -The bus topology is the type of logical topology in which all the nodes and switches are connected to only one single cable which can be also known as backbone or bus. The nodes are connected like half-duplex mode. In the bus topology, there is a host which is known as a station.
Detailed explanation-4: -2. One of the important difference between the two topologies, i.e. Token Ring and Ethernet, is that Token Ring uses the token in order to transmit the data frame in the ring (which means that the station can pass the data frame only when it has the token). Only one workstation can talk at a time.
