+**Note**: Ring positions are now assigned automatically for optimal network topology. The system calculates the best position for each node to ensure even distribution around the ring.

+## 🎯 Automatic Ring Positioning
+
+The Ring Network now features **automatic node positioning** that optimizes network topology without manual configuration:
+
+### Key Features
+- **Optimal Placement**: New nodes are automatically positioned in the largest gap between existing nodes
+- **Even Distribution**: Nodes are distributed evenly around the virtual ring for balanced load
+- **Dynamic Rebalancing**: Network topology adjusts automatically when nodes join or leave
+- **No Manual Configuration**: Eliminates the need to manually specify ring positions
+
+### How It Works
+1. **Virtual Ring**: The network uses a virtual ring of 1000 positions
+2. **Gap Analysis**: When a new node joins, the system finds the largest gap between existing nodes
+3. **Optimal Insertion**: The new node is placed in the middle of the largest gap
+4. **Topology Update**: All nodes update their neighbor connections based on the new topology
+5. **Automatic Rebalancing**: The system can redistribute nodes evenly when needed
+
+### Benefits
+- **Simplified Setup**: No need to calculate or specify positions manually
+- **Better Performance**: Optimal positioning improves routing efficiency
+- **Self-Healing**: Network automatically adapts to node changes
+- **Scalability**: Easy to add new nodes without topology planning
+
+Use the `topology` command in any node to view the current ring structure and positions.
