Different between token ring network and ethernet?

Answer 1

The difference between Token Ring and Ethernet is how they deal with the transmission of information and how they prevent data from colliding with each other. Ethernet depends on random pauses to transfer data. On the other hand, Token Ring uses a mechanism called a "token." You can think of a group of little kids sitting in a circle. They pass around a little beanbag, and the only person allowed to talk at a given time is the one with a beanbag.
