Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Ring topologies are half-duplex but can also be made full-duplex. To make ring topologies full-duplex you would need to have two connections between network nodes to form a Dual Ring Topology.
Detailed explanation-2: -It is also called a dual-ring network in which two rings are created to send data in the opposite direction. Dual rings provide alternate paths to reach any node in case of failure in any of the intermediate nodes while sending data in one direction.
Detailed explanation-3: -In a ring topology, nodes are connected in a loop, so each device has exactly two neighbors.
