Why would the token ring be inefficient if a LAN has a very large perimeter?

Token Ring networks can become inefficient in LANs with a large perimeter due to increased delays in token circulation. As the distance between nodes grows, the time it takes for the token to complete a full cycle around the network increases, leading to slower data transmission. Additionally, the chance of token loss or collision may rise, further affecting network efficiency. This can result in significant latency and reduced overall throughput in large-scale deployments.
