them a necessary tool for offices, schools, and

A computer network consists of several

Token Rings
Token rings work by sending data from one
machine to the next and so on around a ring
until it ends up back where it started.
It also uses a special token passing protocol,
which means that a machine can only use the
network when it has control of the token.
This ensures that there are no collisions
because only one machine can use the network
at any given time.
