The 1EEE802·4 token bus standard mainly designed by keeping motivations as :

  • A.To support real time traffic
  • B.It is less vulnerable compared to token ring
  • C.To remove probabilistic nature of CSMA/CD
  • D.All of the above

Answer: D

The answer is All of the above.

The IEEE 802.4 token bus (printed '1EEE802.4') was developed largely for factory automation. A station transmits only when it holds the token, which passes around a logical ring, so the worst-case waiting time is bounded: this supports real-time traffic and removes the probabilistic, collision-based access of CSMA/CD Ethernet.

Physically it is a bus, a linear cable, which was considered more robust than a physical ring, where a single break in the cable stops the whole network. So all three motivations apply.
