| 5 | Arcnet is another ancient network technology that has mostly been forgotten about, like [[Token_Ring]] or [[FDDI]]. |
||
| 6 | |||
| 7 | As a token-passing system, contrary to Ethernet, it has deterministic upper bounds for the maximum latency of a packet traversing the network - which is why it was adopted in al ot of contemporary industrial automation/control equipment. |
