Ring architecture

Ring architecture is a method used in computer networking where devices are organized in a circular layout, with each device connected to exactly two neighbors, forming a ring. Data travels around this ring in one or both directions to reach a destination, allowing for efficient and orderly communication. This setup helps in managing network traffic, preventing data collisions, and providing reliable data delivery. Ring architecture is commonly used in local area networks (LANs) and token ring networks, where a special token circulates to control when devices can send data, maintaining organized and collision-free data transfer.
