TOKEN RING AND FDDI

HENNO

With token ring there is just one token on the ring at a given time.
But with FDDI there are multiple tokens circulating on the ring at the same time. Is this correct, can someone please help, thanks

toke ring does only have one token at a time if you do not have the token you can't speak

FDDI being set up for Fault tolence has 2 token one on each ring.... the token go in opposite direction though. this is because it is fault tolerant ny nature where token ring is not.
