Ring Topology

About Ring Topology as follows:

In a ring network, all nodes are connected in a closed ring or loop.  Data
transmitted on a ring network travels from node to node around the entire
ring, in one direction.  When a computer sends data, the data travels to
each computer on the ring until it reaches its destination.  All devices are
connected to one another in the shape of a closed loop,so that each
device is connected directly to two other devices,one on either side of it .


Advantages for the Ring Topology as follows:


Have equal access for every computer. Degrade the network performance
slightly when the traffic is heavy.



Disadvantages for the Ring Topology as follows:


Troubleshoot difficulty, disrupt the whole of the network when one
computer fails, affect the network when adding or removing computer.
