Token Ring has now become a niche technology. The number of vendors providing Token Ring solutions is shrinking rapidly, the prices for Token Ring solutions remain high compared to Ethernet, and Ethernet is better equipped to support emerging networking applications and technologies. Therefore, most enterprises with Token Ring installed are implementing plans to migrate to Ethernet. The message from industry analysts and organizations that have undergone the migration is clear--make the decision to migrate right now. To delay the decision means risking your ability to react in the future to deploy new networking applications and technologies or even to maintain your current Token Ring network.
