The principle used in the token ring network is that a token is circulating in the ring and whichever node grabs that token will have right to transmit the data. To prevent congestion and collision, a token ring topology uses a token to ensure that only one nodestation on the line is used at a time. Token ring and fddi 3 when a station wishes to transmit, it must wait for token to pass by and seize the token. Da sa data fcs frame control fc access control ac end delimiter ed frame status 1 1 126 26 any 4 1 byte start delimiter sd. Difference between token ring and ethernet is that token ring standard specifies that computers and devices on the network share or pass a special signal. The token ring standard specifies that computers and devices on the network share or pass a special signal, called a token, in a unidirectional manner and in a preset order.
