> "After the token is claimed and changed to an information frame, only
stations with priority higher than the trasmitting station can reserve the
token for the next pass around the network. When the next token is
generated, it includes the highest priority of the reserving station.
Stations that raise a token's priority level must reinstate the previous
lower priority level after their transmission is complete"

> CASE SCENARIO:
>
> I have 3 stations: A , B, and C Their resective priorities are 1 , 4, and
5. Station X Y Z have priority 0
> Station A grabs the token (the priority at the time was 0) and and put
data on it. While it goes around the ring, station B reserves the token for
itself. When the token comes back to station A (we assume X was the
destination), A creates a new token with priority 4 and no reservation set.

> QUESTIONS:
>
> Question: Is the last statement of my case scenario correct or is it the
other way arround? (A creates a new token ring with the previous priority: 0
and set the reservation to 4).
