  2. Ring network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_network

    A ring network is a network topology in which each node connects to exactly two other nodes, forming a single continuous pathway for signals through each node – a ring. Data travels from node to node, with each node along the way handling every packet.

  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. Token Ring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Token_Ring

    Token Ring is a physical and data link layer computer networking technology used to build local area networks. It was introduced by IBM in 1984, and standardized in 1989 as IEEE 802.5. It uses a special three-byte frame called a token that is passed around a logical ring of workstations or servers.

  5. Knot theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knot_theory

    In topology, knot theory is the study of mathematical knots. While inspired by knots which appear in daily life, such as those in shoelaces and rope, a mathematical knot differs in that the ends are joined so it cannot be undone, the simplest knot being a ring (or "unknot").

  6. Topology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topology

    A three-dimensional model of a figure-eight knot.The figure-eight knot is a prime knot and has an Alexander–Briggs notation of 4 1.. Topology (from the Greek words τόπος, 'place, location', and λόγος, 'study') is the branch of mathematics concerned with the properties of a geometric object that are preserved under continuous deformations, such as stretching, twisting, crumpling ...

  7. 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.

  8. The symbolism and meaning behind different engagement ring shapes

    The ring setting and diamond shape determine what an engagement ring symbolizes. Each shape and setting has its own meaning and style. What does a round cut engagement ring symbolize?

  9. Media Redundancy Protocol - Wikipedia

    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).
