Quiz on Token Passing Mechanism

What is the primary function of the Token Passing Mechanism?

• To enhance network security

• To reduce the number of devices in a network

• To control data transmission in multi-access networks

• To increase data transmission speed

In which topology is the Token Passing Mechanism commonly used?

• Bus topology

• Ring topology

• Mesh topology

• Star topology

What does the token represent in the Token Passing Mechanism?

• A data packet

• A network error

• A device identifier

• A permission slip to transmit data

What happens if a device has no data to send when it holds the token?

• It loses the token

• It passes the token to the next device

• It sends a signal to all devices

• It generates a new token

How does the Token Passing Mechanism prevent data collisions?

• By increasing the bandwidth of the network

• By using encryption for data packets

• By ensuring only one device can transmit at a time

• By allowing multiple devices to transmit simultaneously

What is a key advantage of using Token Passing in networks?

• It increases the number of devices in the network

• It ensures fair access for all devices

• It allows for unlimited data transmission

• It eliminates the need for network cables

In a Token Ring Network, how many tokens are typically circulating at any time?

• Four

• One

• Three

• Two

What occurs if the token is lost in the network?

• All devices stop communicating

• The network shuts down

• A new token is generated

• The devices reset

Which of the following is a real-world application of Token Passing?

• Streaming video content

• Connecting to a Wi-Fi network

• Sending print jobs to a printer

• Transferring large files over the internet

What is the primary benefit of using token passing in environments with predictable data traffic?

• It allows for faster data transmission

• It provides an efficient way to manage data transmission

• It reduces the number of devices needed

• It simplifies network setup
