Token Bus is a type of network where devices are connected in a bus (a single communication line) and use "token passing" to control communication.
How It Works:
A "token" (a small data packet) moves around the network.
Only the device holding the token can send data.
Once done, it passes the token to the next device.
This method prevents data collisions and ensures smooth communication. While mostly outdated, the concept of Token Development Solutions in blockchain follows a similar idea—where tokens enable secure and controlled transactions in decentralized systems.

A token bus is a type of network which uses the token ring protocol. The protocol is implemented over a virtual ring using coaxial cable. A token is passed around the ring, so that only one computer has the right to transmit data. If the chosen computer doesn't have any data to transmit, the token is passed to the next computer.
