A ring topology is a type of computer network where each node is connected to two other nodes, forming a continuous loop. All data travels along the same path in one direction, from one node to the next until it reaches its destination. This type of network is based on the Token Ring protocol, which requires a token to be passed from one node to the next in order for data transmission to occur. Each node is responsible for passing the token to the next node in the ring. If a node fails, the entire network is disrupted.
