  • Abstract
    Token-ring LANs defined by the IEEE 802.5 and American National Standards Institute X3T9.5 Committees are considered. The author addresses several myths surrounding token-ring networks and offers supporting technical evidence to the contrary. He discusses token-ring protocols, the star-wired configuration, ring access via tokens, multiplexing of ring connections, and the significant recovery mechanisms allowed by the ring.
