Network Element Bypass in Computing Computer Architecture

摘要

A method and apparatus in accordance with the present invention provides monitoring a self-adjusting multi-tier processing system. At least one computing resource of one of the tiers of the self-adjusting multi-tier processing system is dynamically bypassed based on at least one predetermined criterion, wherein dynamically bypassing energizes or de-energizes a bypass control switch that operates to route data between tiers of the system in a manner that excludes the at least one computing resource.
