Detailed explanation-1: -One of the main advantages of ring topology is the high data transmission rate. In a ring topology, data is transmitted in a single direction, which reduces the chances of collisions and increases the overall speed of data transmission.
Detailed explanation-2: -Token Ring technology uses ring topology for data transfers and provides more advanced congestion management than that available in Ethernet. One of the major advantages of the Token Ring (TR) is no collision in the network and, therefore, utilization can reach 100% under heavy load.
Detailed explanation-3: -In a ring topology, the chances of data collisions are low. In a bus topology, the failure of a node does not affect the whole network. Node failure breaks the ring in a ring topology, and communication stops. In a bus topology, fault identification and Isolation are difficult.
