Which architecture is recommended under high network utilization of up to 70% or 80%?
-
Ethernet bus
-
Token Ring
-
DLC
-
FDDI
B
Correct answer
Explanation
Token Ring architecture is recommended under high network utilization (70-80%) because of its deterministic token-passing access method, which eliminates collisions and provides predictable performance. Ethernet bus (CSMA/CD) performance degrades significantly under load due to collision handling and exponential backoff. FDDI and DLC are not suitable answers - FDDI uses token passing but wasn't listed as the recommended architecture in this context.
