In a token passing network access control scheme a node can transmit data on the network

A) at all times.
B) only when it has possession of a token.
C) only at the end of a scan cycle.
D) only at the start of a scan cycle.

Token Passing

A network communication protocol where a token, or a small data packet, is passed among nodes to control which one can transmit data at any given time, preventing collisions.

Network Access Control

Security protocol that restricts the access to networks by devices based on a set of security policies or rules to protect network resources.

Transmit Data

The act of sending data from one device to another through a communication interface.

Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
In a token passing network access control scheme, nodes can transmit data on the network only when they have possession of a token. The token is passed from node to node, giving each node the opportunity to transmit data when it has the token. This ensures that there is no contention for the network resources and that each node gets a fair chance to transmit data.
