A segmented computer network topology has a plurality of network hosts, which are coupled in a ring. A method of resetting the segmented computer network topology includes initiating a reset sequence having a flushing phase, a subsequent scrubber selection phase, a next subsequent slot identification phase and a next subsequent ring start-up phase. Selected packets received by the network hosts are flushed from the ring during the flushing phase. A single one of the network hosts is selected as a scrubber host during the scrubber selection phase. A unique slot identifier is assigned to each of the network hosts during the slot identification phase. A ring start-up packet is sent from the scrubber host to each of the other network hosts over the ring during the ring start-up phase.
