COMPUTER FUNDAMENTALS

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Rings can be unidirectional, with all traffic travelling either clockwise or anticlockwise around the ring, or bidirectional (as in SONET/SDH). Because a unidirectional ring topology provides only one pathway between any two nodes, unidirectional ring networks may be disrupted by the failure of a single link.

Detailed explanation-3: -A ring topology is a topology for a Local Area Network (LAN) in which every device has exactly two neighbours for communication purposes. Typically, all messages travel through a ring in the same direction. A failure in any cable or device breaks the loop and will take down the entire segment.

Detailed explanation-4: -Ring Topology Data collisions are avoided as data packets are transmitted in one direction. Attaching more systems to a ring topology won’t affect the transfer speed bandwidth) as much as other layouts like a bus topology because the data is transferred at a consistent speed.
