[edit] Round-robin networks

I don't know much about the subject, but I've only found 11 Google hits. [1] So surely it can be merged somewhere?

• keep, I make it about 82,600 google hits. [2]. Kappa 10:23, 14 August 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with Local Area Network.--Exir Kamalabadi^{Criticism is welcomed!} 12:16, August 14, 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with Local Area Network - which, by the way, needs some expansion... if I have time I'll give it a try later. --Raistlin 13:30, 14 August 2005 (UTC)
• Comment Original is correct. Only 11 exact google matches. Dottore So 16:07, 14 August 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect to Token ring which is the proper name for this. -Splash 16:21, 14 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Well, sort of anyway. Do networks ever operate in a strict round-robin sense? They all use one of the IEEE 802 standards and none of those is specifically a round-robin proposal, since you might have nothing to transmit and would just pass the opportunity onto the next station in the ring, so a token ring is closest by description. -Splash 16:30, 14 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep or redirect. — BRIAN0918 • 2005-08-15 02:55
• Delete I believe this is about a mesh network which is the more appropiate name. If redirected, it should be to Wireless mesh network. As I recall, a Token Ring is a form of a star network, each point on the star is a ring, and not a true mesh. Vegaswikian 05:33, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, rename, and expand "Round-robin in networking" isn't limited to LANs (and no LAN topology is really round-robin so the current article isn't that hot) and this article should turn into a general purpose description. You can do round-robin at any level of the OSI model for load-balancing, clustering, whatever. SchmuckyTheCat 17:55, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
