You just read about Ethernet. Here is what it replaced:
Token Ring (802.5) served 1985–2000. What ultimately replaced it?
Token Ring (802.5) stations passed a small 'token' frame around a logical ring; only the token-holder could transmit, giving deterministic, collision-free access at the cost of ring-management overhead. Its job passed to Ethernet — but the problem it solved, and the ideas it proved, live on in what replaced it. The standard rests here in the archive. One of 198 technologies here that opened a door and then held it for the next.
