Thank you Remmert. Can I assume that with a 16 Mb Token ring a bit time would be 16 bits per seconds?

For 10Mb Ethernet a bit-time is a 100 nanoseconds (10 Megabit per second, so 1 bit per 100 nanoseconds), for Fast Ethernet it is 10 nanoseconds and so on. So if a workstation on a Fast Ethernet network were to wait 5 bit-times, it actually waits 50 nanoseconds.
