Identify the network topology where each computer acts as a repeater and the data passes...

 The network topology where each computer acts as a repeater and data passes from one computer to the other in a single direction until it reaches its destination is known as a ring topology. In a ring topology, each computer is connected to two other computers in the network, forming a circular data path. The data travels in one direction (clockwise or counterclockwise) and is passed along the ring until it reaches its intended recipient. If a device does not need the data, it simply passes it along to the next device in the ring1.

It is consistent with the objectives and documents of the EC-Council’s Certified Network Defender (CND) program.
