Ring Topology
A network topology that is set up in a circular fashion in which data travels around the ring in one direction and each device on the ring acts as a repeater to keep the signal strong as it travels.
Each device incorporates a receiver for the incoming signal and a transmitter to send the data on to the next device in the ring.
The network is dependent on the ability of the signal to travel around the ring.
When a device sends data, it must travel through each device on the ring until it reaches its destination.
Every node is a critical link.In a ring topology, there is no server computer present; all nodes work as a server and repeat the signal.
The disadvantage of this topology is that if one node stops working, the entire network is affected or stops working.
