A method for detecting a flexible crosslinking of components in the case of an arbitrary network topology, as well as for the information exchange between such assemblies

摘要

Method uses telegrams or packets sent through the network that instead of containing network participant addresses, contain a description of the path taken through the network. By changing the telegram in a suitable manner a description of the return path can be built up. The invention also relates to use of the method for exchange of information in any point-to-point network where each network station can send and receive a telegram containing the information.
