DEFINITION

Classification: 370/452

On ring or loop:

(under subclass 451) Subject matter in which the idle or busy signal is passed from station to station on a closed transmission path.

(1) Note. Token passing buses are normally implemented by the creation of a logical loop or ring using a token passing list which contains the order of which token is to be passed.
