  Token Bus Network (Linktionary term)
A token bus network is similar to a token ring network in that a station must have possession of a token before it can transmit on the network (see "Token and Token-Passing Access Methods").
Token bus topology is well suited to groups of users that are separated by some distance.
IEEE 802.4 token bus networks are constructed with 75-ohm coaxial cable using a bus topology.

  Token Bus and Token Ring
Token Bus was a 4 Mbps Local Area Networking technology created by IBM to connect their terminals to IBM mainframes.
Token Ring was created by IBM to compete with what became known as the DIX Standard of Ethernet (DEC/Intel/Xerox) and to improve upon their previous Token Bus technology.
Token Ring uses a ring based topology and passes a token around the network to control access to the network wiring.

 Token bus
Token bus is token ring over a virtual ring on a coaxial cable.
A token is passed around the network nodes and only the node possessing the token may transmit.
If a node doesn't have anything to send, the token is passed on to the next node on the virtual ring.

 CMSC 406, MSCS 560 Computer Networks
Token passing is a mechanism for controlling access to a shared medium.
A token ring may adopt one of two strategies for reissuing the token -- a) delayed release -- reissuing the token when the frame has circulated around the ring and been removed, or b) early release -- reissuing the free token immediately after the last bit of the preceding frame has been transmitted.
In the example below, we assume that the token holding time is 610 units, where a unit is the amount of time needed to transmit 610 bytes, and the target token rotation time is 1600 bytes.

A token bus is a common type of network topology (a path used to transfer data from a source to a destination) and uses a token (a passing mechanism) to regulate traffic on the bus.
The token bus network is commonly used in assembly line and factory automation environments, where real-time processing is required.
Token bus protocol uses Differential Manchester coding which uses signal changes in the middle of each bit to indicate high and low states.

 Network system using token-passing bus with multiple priority levels - Patent 4930121
With the use of the taken-passing bus, the individual nodes 1-1 to 1-n are given their specific addresses in advance, and a token is sequentially shifted from the node of a large address to those of small addresses.
According to the token-passing bus system, data to be sent by the individual nodes 1-1 to 1-n is allocated to four types of access levels in accordance with the desired transmission priority, and priority process is executed based on the token-passing bus priority algorithm defined by the IEEE 802.4.
With a data transmission using the token passing system, a node executes data exchange with another node by transmitting command data to a node that is destined for the data exchange and then by receiving response data from the destination node.

 Token Ring
The tokens are generated by a monitor station (a Node nominated by the other Nodes on the network when it is first switched on).
A token packet is passed round the network which grants permission to each station wishing to transmit data.
A major disadvantage of the token ring network is when failures occur such as a broken cable the network stops operation and so special test routines only available from the network controller are required to assist in fault location.

In a single bus multiplrocessor system, only one processor is allowed to use the the bus at any time though many may request the use of the bus simultaneously.
Bus request is routed back to the beginning of the daisy chain and turned into Bus grant.
When the device is done with the bus it generates a "1" token to be latched to the next device to the right, thus making the current device last relative to the ring structure.

 Data Networks, Local area networks
There are numerous token ring technologies, but all rely on the passing of a special frame called a token to control access to the medium.
This is logically a token passing network as for the token ring, but the underlying network media is a bus and not a ring.
This is logically a token-passing ring network implemented on a bus network and using a wiring layout (stations connected to a hub) which forms a star.

 WildPackets - Introduction
The concept of passing a token message to grant the right to access the physical network media is not unique to the 802.5 standards.
In a Token Passing Bus architecture the token message must have an address, since it is being sent to the 'next' station in a logical, numerically sequential, ordering of devices.
The token message is sent from one station to the next and finally back to the first station.

 CS 635, Lecture 5, Part 1   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
In a token ring system with n stations and T sec to send a frame, no frame will wait more than nTsec to be sent (this is the upper bound that is missing in 802.3).
Physically, the token bus is a linear or tree-shaped cable.
If the token sender does not hear a vlid frame following its token pass, it attempts to asses the status of the network and may implement measures to pass around the problem station by establishing a new successor.

 Token Ring FAQ   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Token Ring was introduced at roughly the same time but suffered from an early dispute over a patent meaning potential users stayed away until this was resolved.
Token Ring was backed by IBM (the king of the computer industry in the early 1980's) meaning its popularity was almost guarenteed.
The Token Bus standard resulted from a compromise between people who did not like the non-detministic nature of CSMA/CD or the active repeater element within Token Ring.

Token Ring performance does not deteriorate to the same extent as Ethernet when network traffic increases.This means that at high loads, the presence of collisions of data frames on Ethernet networks becomes a major problem and can seriously affect the throughput.
Token Bus is not as deterministic as Token Ring but like Token Ring it has excellent throughput and efficiency at high load.
Token Bus uses broadband transmission and cabling which obviously gives it a bandwidth advantage over Token Ring but the downside is the equipment costs (modems, wideband amplifiers, etc).The IEEE 802.4 protocol is also extremely complex compared to IEEE 802.5 and it has a substantial delay at low loads.

 Topology
The bus requires the least amount of cable to connect the computers together and is therefore less expensive than other cabling arrangements.
The difference between a token bus and a token ring is that with a token ring, the LAN does not use a master controller to control the token.
The bus network might be missing a terminator and you exceeded the maximum cable length for the network by adding new cable.
