Actually, Cambridge Ring is a *slot* ring. However, in a slot ring, if you
see the mini-packet you sent not marked as recieved ( in fact there are 4
different statuses/stati it could have - accepted, rejected, no-one there
and another ... ), that is, unmodified except for the 'monitor-passed' flag,
you know your addressee is not on the ring.
There's no problem about loss of token, because there's no token ...
