• In this data flows in one direction which reduces the chance of packet collisions.
• In this topology additional workstations can be added after without impacting performance of the network.
• Equal access to the resources.
• There is no need of server to control the connectivity among the nodes in the topology.
• It is cheap to install and expand.
• Minimum collision.
• Speed to transfer the data is very high in this type of topology.
• Due to the presence of token passing the performance of ring topology becomes better than bus topology under heavy traffic.
• Easy to manage.
• Ring network is extremely orderly organized where every device has access to the token and therefore the opportunity to transmit.
Disadvantages of Ring topology:
• Due to the Uni-directional Ring, a data packet (token) must have to pass through all the nodes.
• If one workstation shuts down, it affects whole network or if a node goes down entire network goes down.
• It is slower in performance as compared to the bus topology
• It is Expensive.
• Addition and removal of any node during a network is difficult and may cause issue in network activity.
• Difficult to troubleshoot the ring.
• In order for all the computer to communicate with each other, all computer must be turned on.
