Hi netters,

I have some more questions regarding the token ring ( IEEE 802.5 ). I wish to
thank those guys who responded to my previous queries.

	Does a station in a token ring regenerate the token immediately
	after the last bit in the frame is sent  OR does it generate a 
	new token until its frame has gone all the way around and come
	back ? What does the IEEE 802.5 follow ?

	What consequences arise if the destination station removes the
	frame instead  of the sender ? The IEEE 802.5 standard says that
	sender removes the frame ? Any advantages in that ? Isn't it a
	lot of overhead ?


Thanks a lot,

Giri.
