Token ring algorithms

Token ring algorithms are a method for managing communication in a network where devices are connected in a closed loop. A special data packet called a "token" circulates around the ring, granting its holder the permission to transmit data. Only the device with the token can send information, which prevents collisions and ensures orderly communication. When a device finishes, it passes the token to the next device in the sequence. This system maintains efficient and fair data transfer, especially useful in environments requiring predictable communication and synchronization among multiple devices.
