I was suprised to see the answers to the Ethernet Networking Pop Quiz. From someone that is suppose to know about networking, it does not seem that TechRepublic have the answers correct.

Question 5 reads:
"Which of the networking technologies typically utilize Ethernet?

One of the answers are: Token Ring.

How can this be possible as Token Ring is a networking topology with IEEE spec 802.5 and is the only other acceptable networking layout next to Ethernet. They make use of two totally different ways of transmitting data over the network.

the answer. I scratched my head thinking wow I must have been a guieness to get my token ring network operating over ethernet cable 5 years ago.

I think they should double check their answer.
