Token-ring networks are networks laid out in a ring configuration.
Each computer is connected to the one next to it and the last one
in the line is connected back to the first. A server or bridge to
other networks may also be connected in this ring. The token-ring
protocol requires that a computer request a software "token" to
attach to its request for data. The token travels around the ring in
one direction looking for a computer in the ring that needs its
services, delivering requests, or returning data. All this happens
at very high speeds so that a computer does not have to wait more
than a fraction of a second for a free token. Each computer and
device within the network must be equipped with a token-ring card.
The card is the physical connection between the computer and the
network cabling. The token-ring network is mainly an IBM system.
