The ideas behind token ring underlies DOCIS.
While not technically TR, it does use a token that moves from device to device.
It would be interesting to know if TR is better at contention management than broadcast ethernet - which nobody does anymore because everyone uses switches.

I assume you typo'd DOCSIS there, but no, DOCSIS does not use a token; it uses separate channels for down- & uplink, and the uplink channels are TDMA and/or CDMA depending on DOCSIS version.
