Specifies a token bus network.
Standards for Token bus cabling systems.
This IEEE specification describes a LAN using 10Mbps signaling, token-passing media-access control, and a physical bus topology. It is typically used as part of networks following the Manufacturing A ... more
IEEE 802.4 defines the (MAC) layer for bus networks that use a token-passing mechanism (token bus networks). This is an application of the concepts used in token ring networks. The main difference is that the endpoints of the bus do not meet to form a physical ring.
