Abstract
A method for electing a ring manager of ring topology network and a node are disclosed, where, to this end, a node responsible for electing the ring manager periodically requests each node of diagnostic information on packet traffic and receives the diagnostic information on packet traffic from each node, newly elects a node capable of performing a ring manager role, and informs each node of information on the newly elected ring manager, whereby, the ring network can be more effectively operated because the ring manager is elected based on network load status that changes in real time even in the course of a ring network being initially set up and operated responsive to structural conditions including hop count of each nod and MAC node.
