In a ring network, every device has exactly two neighbours for communication purposes.
All messages travel through a ring in the same direction (either “clockwise” or “counter clockwise”). A failure in any cable or device breaks the loop and can take down the entire network. To implement a ring network, one typically uses FDDI, SONET, or Ring technology. Ring topologies are found in some office buildings or school campuses.
