broken-ring network
|
|
|
|
Pejorative hackerism for token-ring network , an early and very slow LAN
|
|
technology from IBM that lost the standards war to Ethernet. Though
|
|
token-ring survives in a few niche markets (such as factory automation) that
|
|
put a high premium on resistance to electrical noise, the term is now (2000)
|
|
primarily historical.
