IEEE 802.5 Token Ring

  • Consists of a set of nodes connected in a

ring.

  • Data flows in a particular direction only. • Data received from upstream neighbour

forwarded to downstream neighbour.

  • Token – access to the shared ring
    • a special sequence of bits – circulates around the ring.

IEEE 802.5 Token Ring

  • Each node receives and forwards token. • Frame makes its way back to sender
    • frame removed by sender – sender reinsert token.
      • As token circulates around ring, each station

gets a chance to transmit

  • Service round - robin fashion

Token Ring Access Control

  • Network adapter: receiver, and transmitter,

and one or more bits of data storagebetween them.

  • When no stations have anything to transmit

token circulates

  • Ring has enough storage capacity to hold an

entire token.

  • 1 bit / station

IEEE 802.

  • Token Size: 24 bits
    • Minimum number of stations is 24 – Overcome this by including a monitor which adds the extra bits of delay - Token operation - Token circulates – Station seizes a token

IEEE 802.

  • Modifies a bit in the second byte of token – Station that has token transmits data – Station drains token out of the ring – Station sends data – Each packet has destination address – All stations downhill check destination address – Destination copies packet – Packet finds its way back to sending station

IEEE 802.

  • Issues
    • Size of data that given node is allowed to transmit - Token holding time (THT) =
  • Utilisation is 100% • Unfair to stations to other than the station holding the token - THT affects ring performance

Token Holding Time

  • Token Rotation Time (TRT): •

TRT

Active nodes * THT + Ring

Latency

  • Ring Latency – token circulation time

Priorities in IEEE 802.

  • Supports different levels of priority
    • 3 bits – each station waiting to send, sets priority for packet packet’s priority as high current token - then token can be seized – Intending to send station – sets the priority on currently passing data frame

Priorities in IEEE 802.

  • releasing station sets priority of token to n. – Lower priority packets circulate for long in ring
    • Token Release
      • Early release
        • After transmitting packet
          • Delayed release
            • After removing packet when it returns to the sender

Token Ring Maintenance

  • Role of monitor
    • insert additional delay in ring – ensure always that there is a token somewhere in the ring - regenerate a vanished token – no token seen for TRT => regenerate

Token Ring Maintenance

  • orphaned / corrupted packets – drain them if orphaned - (A and C bits set – parent dies) • A bit set C bit not set – parent dies - bit is initially set to 1 by monitor - monitor notices back when packet passes by monitor a second time
