Forgive my ignorance in that case. I did very poorly on the unit that covered token ring, and was in perpetual self doubt because I got an answer wrong when I referenced the original manufacturer document instead of the slides.
Nothing against the protocol, I just didn't learn it properly and was born too late to see it in person. (I love learning about all tech)
Be glad you never had to suffer through the hell that is token ring. And given how awful it truly is, I am surprised that they have decided to recreate it wirelessly. I understand why (the why is money, it's always money) but you would have thought they would have learned their lesson.
