token bus (networking)(IEEE 802.4) A networking protocol which mediatesaccess to a bus topology network as though it were a token ring. This eliminates the collisions found in carrier sense collision detect protocols. Nodes can be configuredto pass the token in any order, not necessarily related totheir physical ordering on the bus.
