Selbsterholendes Lokalnetz

摘要

Network with sub-networks which are connected to a coupling switch, for example a bypass switch. In normal operation the sub-networks are independent of each other. On failure of the server of a sub-network, the coupling switch ensures that the sub-network which is handicapped by the faulty server is inserted into a neighbouring sub-network, whereby both sub-networks can jointly use the non-faulty server.
