Method for detecting flexible networking of modules with an arbitrary network topology and also for exchanging information between such modules

摘要

A method to detect the implemented network topology of modules which are flexibly networked by means of at least two bi-directional connection interfaces in a physical point-to-point connection in an arbitrary network topology, wherein messages which, instead of using a subscriber address, contain a description of the path through the network are used and the messages are suitably altered upon forwarding, in order to set up a description of the return path automatically.
