I'm trying to understand the distinction between token ring LAN and Ethernet LAN. I want to know how they differ in terms of their functionality, operation, and possibly their applications in networking.

A token ring features a Star shaped topology which distinctively organizes network nodes.

In contrast, Ethernet utilizes a Bus shaped topology for its network design.

Within a token ring network, priority handling is an integral aspect. This mechanism allows certain nodes to have precedence over the token.

These prioritized nodes can then transmit data more efficiently.

Ethernet, on the other hand, does not incorporate a priority system. All nodes have equal access to the shared communication channel.
