A METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CIRCUMSCRIBING A TOPOLOGY TO FORM RING STRUCTURES

摘要

A method and system for ordering an interconnect topology to form a ring structure, the topology forming a looped bus bridge topology (600), comprising a number of nodes, described. In one embodiment, a self identifier (612) for each of the nodes is determined. Further, the self identifier is mapped to a ring identifier (602) for each node. In addition, each node computes the ring identifier of one of its port-connected nodes as its topologically adjacent neighbor identifier (625).
