Graceful insertion and removal approaches for FDDI-II
Baiju V. Patel, A. Ruiz, Frank A. Schaffa, Marc H. Willebeek-LeMair · 2003
A mechanism is required which prevents the initiation of the claim process and maintains a constant ring latency during the insertion and removal of stations into the ring. Such a mechanism, graceful insertion and removal, is described. The mechanism is designed to support the graceful insertion and removal of stations into the M-ports of concentrators and requires no hardware modification of the endstations.>
