TOKEN BUS

Specialty Definition: TOKEN BUS

DomainDefinition

Computing

Token bus (IEEE 802.4) A networking protocol which mediates access to a bus topology network as though it were a token ring. This eliminates the collisions found in carrier sense collision detect protocols. Nodes can be configured to pass the token in any order, not necessarily related to their physical ordering on the bus. The token is sent from one node to its successor in the logical ring by broadcast on the bus and is ignored by the other nodes. (1996-12-13). Source: The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing.

Specialty Definition: Token bus

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Token bus is token ring over a virtual ring on a coaxial cable. A token is passed around the network nodes and only the node possessing the token may transmit. If a node doesn't have anything to send, the token is passed on to the next node on the virtual ring. Each node must know the address of its neigbour in the ring, so a special protocol is needed to notify the other nodes of connections to, and disconnections from, the ring.
