A Totem ring network (100) includes Totem rings (102, 104) which are geographically separated by relatively long distances. Time latencies between the geographically separated Totem rings (102, 104) are minimized by providing each Totem ring with a dedicated router (122, 132) located geographically proximate to a respective Totem ring. Each router (122, 132) is joined together through point-to-point links (106, 108), and each server (124, 126, 128, 132, 134, 136) on a local area network (120, 130) of a respective ring (102, 104) is joined to the respective Totem ring (102, 104) and router (122, 132).
