Hi, need to submit a 250 words essay on the topic Introduction to Networking.

Token Ring describes a Local Area Network (LAN) technology in which stations are organized in a ring topology. In Token Ring, data transmission occurs sequentially from a ring station to the next. initialization of a ring is achieved through circulating a token. When using Token Ring, a station has to capture the token in order to gain the right to transmit data onto the ring.

Initial Token Ring products operated at 4 Mbps. However, the 802.5 standard has advanced and supports an operation of 16 Mbps (Carlo, 1998).

The Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) refers to a 100 mbps technology, which uses the LAN network and is usually linked through a fiber optic cable. This technology is used in situations where networks require a high speed bandwidth, and require covering vast distances compared to those covered by the copper wires. There are two networks under this category. fiber optic wire based and copper distributed data interface (Gallo & Hancock, 2002).

The information I have learnt is useful in the future since I can teach others, who do not have this knowledge. I struggled with trying to understand the differences between the networks architectures presented in this assignment. I discovered that a person can use network bridge devices in extending Ethernet networks. What I can share with fellow students is that diagrams help to understand networking concepts in a superior
