PROTECTING RING NETWORK DATA

摘要

A ring is configured that has multiple nodes connected by first and second channels. A distributing filter is provided that is configured to direct a first type of data to the first channel in the ring and a second type of data to the second channel in the ring. A fault is detected on at least one the first and second channels in the ring. The distruting filter is adjusted to redirect data in the ring to avoid the fault.
