  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. Rings can be unidirectional, with all traffic travelling either clockwise or anticlockwise ...

  3. Fiber Distributed Data Interface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber_distributed_data...

    Typically, a computer-room contained the whole dual ring, although some implementations deployed FDDI as a metropolitan area network. [6] FDDI requires this network topology because the dual ring actually passes through each connected device and requires each such device to remain continuously operational.

  4. Network topology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_topology

    Network topology is the topological [4] structure of a network and may be depicted physically or logically. It is an application of graph theory [3] wherein communicating devices are modeled as nodes and the connections between the devices are modeled as links or lines between the nodes. Physical topology is the placement of the various ...

  5. 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.

  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. Dual topology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_topology

    Dual topology. In functional analysis and related areas of mathematics a dual topology is a locally convex topology on a vector space that is induced by the continuous dual of the vector space, by means of the bilinear form (also called pairing) associated with the dual pair . The different dual topologies for a given dual pair are ...

  8. Ethernet Ring Protection Switching - Wikipedia

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

    Ethernet Ring Protection Switching (ERPS) is an effort at ITU-T under G.8032 Recommendation to provide sub-50ms protection and recovery switching for Ethernet traffic in a ring topology and at the same time ensuring that there are no loops formed at the Ethernet layer. This ITU-T specification is directly based on and derived from the Ethernet ...

  9. Direct limit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_limit

    The same is true for a directed collection of subgroups of a given group, or a directed collection of subrings of a given ring, etc. The weak topology of a CW complex is defined as a direct limit. Let X {\displaystyle X} be any directed set with a greatest element m {\displaystyle m} .
