| 5.6.3 | Ring network topology

Mathematical Perspective A ring topology is a single closed ring consisting of nodes and links, with each node connected to only two adjacent nodes. Physical Perspective The topology shows all devices wired directly to each other in what is called a daisy-chain. This is similar to the manner in which a mouse on an Apple PC plugs into the keyboard and then into the PC.

Logical Perspective
In order for information to flow, each station must pass the information to its adjacent station.
