Non-disruptive network topology modification

A node is removed/added from a network with minimal disruption by actuating a mechanism on an adjacent node that provides an indication to a controller node, which commands a wrap of the adjacent nodes. Once the node is added/removed, the wrap can be removed to resume normal operation. With this arr...

Zusammenfassung:A node is removed/added from a network with minimal disruption by actuating a mechanism on an adjacent node that provides an indication to a controller node, which commands a wrap of the adjacent nodes. Once the node is added/removed, the wrap can be removed to resume normal operation. With this arrangement, disruption of traffic flow is minimized as nodes are added and removed from the network.
