Sanat Shukla

Beaconing is a process that allows a network to self-repair network problems.

In other words to define the Beaconing, it is a technique used on token-passing networks for monitoring the status of the token-passing process. And the beaconing is generally used in TokenRing & FiberDistributedDataInterface(FDDI) networks to ensure that token passing is functioning properly.
