The token (with rings) passing approach ensures no starvation if the ring is unidirectional (ii) and involves a single processor acting as a coordinator to handle all requests (i & iv), which are essentially the same point repeated. This method avoids the inefficiencies and complexities associated with multiple messages per section entry, as it ensures orderly access to the critical section.
