GENERAL
INFORMATION: Our new Token-Ring drivers that are on Netwire support
early token release!
What is early token release? Normally, a node that sends
a packet has to wait till the packet comes back around and
then it strips the packet and makes a token and sends it
out. With early token release the node can make a new
token and send it out without waiting for the one it sent
to come back. It doesn't mean that there can be more than
one token on the ring at once because it can't.
