In normal token ring operation, a station sending
information holds the token until the sending data
circles the entire ring. After the sending station
strips the data from the ring, it then issues a free
token.
With Early Token Release (ETR), a token is released
immediately after the sending station transmits its
frame. This allows for improved performance, since
there is no delay in the downstream neighbor waiting
for the token.
ETR is only available on 16 megabit rings.
In short, this allows for multiple information frames
to circulate the ring while still only using ONE
token.
