FAULT TOLERANT NETWORK UTILIZING BI-DIRECTIONAL POINT-TO-POINT COMMUNICATIONS LINKS BETWEEN NODES |
摘要 |
<p>A data communication system and an associated network node implementation is disclosed that, in certain embodiments, uses single-channel bi-directional communication links between nodes to send frames of data. The network nodes can be connected together in a ring or daisy chain topology with data frames sent in alternating directions through the bi-directional links. Such networks initially configured in a physical ring topology can tolerate single point failures by automatically switching to a logical daisy chain topology.</p> |
