Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The network topology described in the question is a ring network. A ring network is a type of network topology in which all computers and devices are arranged along a closed loop, with each device connected to the two adjacent devices to form the ring. The data flows around the ring in one direction, and each device in the network acts as a repeater to boost the signal and prevent signal loss. Examples of ring networks include Token Ring and Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) networks.
