  2. Ring network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_network

    "Token Ring is an example of a ring topology." 802.5 (Token Ring) networks do not use a ring topology at layer 1. Token Ring networks are technologies developed by IBM typically used in local area networks. Token Ring (802.5) networks imitate a ring at layer 2 but use a physical star at layer 1. "Rings prevent collisions." The term "ring" only ...

  3. Network topology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_topology

    A network's logical topology is not necessarily the same as its physical topology. For example, the original twisted pair Ethernet using repeater hubs was a logical bus topology carried on a physical star topology. Token Ring is a logical ring topology, but is wired as a physical star from the media access unit.

  4. Completion of a ring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Completion_of_a_ring

    Thus π is injective if and only if this intersection reduces to the zero element of the ring; by the Krull intersection theorem, this is the case for any commutative Noetherian ring which is an integral domain or a local ring. There is a related topology on R-modules, also called Krull or I-adic topology.

  5. Media access unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_Access_Unit

    An IBM 8228 Multistation Access Unit with accompanying Setup Aid Data flow though a 3-station Token Ring network built using a single MAU. A media access unit (MAU), also known as a multistation access unit (MAU or MSAU), is a device to attach multiple network stations in a ring topology when the cabling is done in a star topology as a Token Ring network, internally wired to connect the ...

  6. Media Redundancy Protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_Redundancy_Protocol

    In this status, one of the MRM ring ports is blocked, while the other is forwarding. Conversely, both ring ports of all MRCs are forwarding. Loops are avoided because the physical ring topology is reduced to a logical line topology. In case of failure, the network works in the Ring-Open status (Figure 2).

  7. All-to-all (parallel pattern) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All-to-all_(parallel_pattern)

    Visualization of an all-to-all algorithm in a ring topology. Visualization of an all-to-all algorithm in a mesh topology. We consider a single-ported machine. The way the data is routed through the network depends on its underlying topology. We take a look at all-to-all algorithms for common network topologies.

  8. Ethernet Ring Protection Switching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet_Ring_Protection...

    A ring link is bounded by two adjacent Ethernet Ring Nodes, and a port for a ring link is called a ring port. The minimum number of Ethernet Ring Nodes in an Ethernet Ring is three. [1] The fundamentals of this ring protection switching architecture are: The principle of loop avoidance.

  9. Grid network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grid_network

    If the network is one-dimensional, and the chain of nodes is connected to form a circular loop, the resulting topology is known as a ring. Network systems such as FDDI use two counter-rotating token-passing rings to achieve high reliability and performance. In general, when an n-dimensional grid network is connected circularly in more than one ...
