Question

Token Ring networks avoid collisions by ________.
 

• A. CSMA/CD
• B. Token passing
• C. Exponential backoff
• D. Priority queuing

Hint:

Token passing is a collision-free method used in Token Ring networks, unlike CSMA/CD which is used in Ethernet.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Token Ring networks use token passing as a method to avoid collisions. In this method, a special token circulates the network, and only the node with the token can send data. This avoids the possibility of multiple devices transmitting at the same time.
