    Conversion Methods

    topologies

    Hey, Just to shake things up a little bit... Lets for example consider a network in which there are say, 140 nodes all connected within a very close proximity of each other. What would be faster: a Bus (using CSMA/CD) or Ring topology (using Token) if all nodes want to transmit ALOT of data...

    avoiding data collision

    Hi, In response to your question, The Token Ring method of using a shared LAN avoids collisions wotsoever. There is no possible way that a token ring network can have a 'collision'. So the answer is clearly token ring. Why? Because the token ring protocol gives each station its turn to...

    Answers to General Paper

    Yeah it would be right if it said 'varies inversely'. but because it specifically said 'varies directly' then K is times'd not divided. When inverse it is 1/K (1 over K), tho when it is direct it is K*variable. sorry mate, hey maybe theyl give it to ya anyways. :)
