Token ring: A type of computer network topology where each machine is connected to the network in a closed loop or ring. Each computer or server is connected to the next, creating a circular network path. Data packets travel around the ring, stopping at each node. If the data is not recognized by the node, it is passed along to the next node in the ring.
