ring network
I was reading that on a physical ring topology, if there is a break in the ring the network goes down. I understand that. What i don't understand is i thought rings (token ring) was a logical ring. Therefore if on node was disconnected it wouldn't bring down the ntwk. Could someone explain that to me.
