Since most people are visually oriented, this simulation is very useful to
illustrated how a packet actually travels through a token ring network. Network
topics are difficult to convey since what happens to data as it travels down a
wire cannot be seen. This illustration can be used to reinforce material in a
lecture on token ring networks.

different architectures. This site only offers a limited amount of information,
but it does get the point across. I think this site is aimed at beginners.
