Single and Dual Ring Topology

As the name implies, in a ring topology all the devices on a network are connected in the form of a ring or circle. Unlike the physical bus topology, a ring type of topology has no beginning or end that needs to be terminated.

Single and Dual Ring Topology

As the name implies, in a ring topology all the devices on a network are connected in the f orm of a ring or circle. Unlike the physical bus topology, a ring type of topology has no beginning or end that needs to be terminated. Data is transmitted in a way that is dif f erent f rom the logical bus topology. In one implementation, a token travels around the ring, stopping at each device. If a device wants to transmit data, it adds that data and the destination address to the token. T he token then continues around the ring until it f inds the destination device, which takes the data out of the token. T he advantage of using this type of method is that no collisions of data packets occur. Two types of ring topology exist: single-ring and dual-ring. Single-Ring Topology In a single-ring topology, all the devices on the network share a single cable, and the data travels in one direction only. Each device waits its turn to send data over the network. T he single ring, however, is susceptible to a single f ailure, stopping the entire ring f rom f unctioning. Dual-Ring Topology In a dual-ring topology, two rings allow data to be sent in both directions. T his setup creates redundancy (f ault tolerance), meaning that if one ring f ails, data can be transmitted on the other ring.
