Understanding Ring topology and its advantages and disadvantages

There are several types of network topology that you can use, such as the topology of Bus, star, ring, tree and mesh. Each of these types of topologies must have their own advantages and challenges.

To select a network topology, there are some considerations that you should look at from connectivity, cost, speed, size, to the environment.

For this time will be discussed further about ring topology. As the name suggests, this type of topology does have a form of ring-like circuit because on the circuit each one is connected to another 2 points. Then what are the ring topology characteristics? And what are the advantages and disadvantages of the ring topology when used? Here is more complete explanation of the ring topology definition.
