  2. Clos network - Wikipedia

    For example, an 8×8 Beneš network (i.e. with N = 8) is shown below; it has 2 log 2 8 − 1 = 5 stages, each containing N/2 = 4 2×2 crossbar switches, and it uses a total of N log 2 N − N/2 = 20 2×2 crossbar switches. The central three stages consist of two smaller 4×4 Beneš networks, while in the center stage, each 2×2 crossbar switch ...

  3. Ethernet Automatic Protection Switching - Wikipedia

    The next packets sent by the network can then be flooded and learned out of the (now enabled) secondary port without any network disruption. Fail-over times are demonstrably in the region of 50ms. The same switch can belong to multiple domains and thus multiple rings. However, these act as independent entities and can be controlled individually.

  4. Circuit breaker design pattern - Wikipedia

    Half-open state. In this state, the circuit breaker allows a limited number of requests from the service to pass through and invoke the operation. If the requests are successful, then the circuit breaker will go to the closed state. However, if the requests continue to fail, then it goes back to open state.

  5. Fail-safe - Wikipedia

    Sometimes the approaches suggest opposite solutions. For example, if a building catches fire, fail-safe systems would unlock doors to ensure quick escape and allow firefighters inside, while fail-secure would lock doors to prevent unauthorized access to the building. The opposite of fail-closed is called fail-open.

  6. Ethernet Ring Protection Switching - Wikipedia

    The mechanisms and protocol defined in this Recommendation achieve highly reliable and stable protection; and never form loops, which would fatally affect network operation and service availability. Each Ethernet Ring Node is connected to adjacent Ethernet Ring Nodes participating in the same Ethernet Ring, using two independent links.

  7. Timeout (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeout_(computing)

    Specific examples include: In the Microsoft Windows and ReactOS [2] command-line interfaces, the timeout command pauses the command processor for the specified number of seconds. [3] [4] In POP connections, the server will usually close a client connection after a certain period of inactivity (the timeout period). This ensures that connections ...

  8. Single point of failure - Wikipedia

    In this diagram the router is a single point of failure for the communication network between computers. A single point of failure ( SPOF ) is a part of a system that would stop the entire system from working if it were to fail . [ 1 ]

    The expression "going open loop" is used to express the idea that someone has lost discipline, acted out of control. Steps of Closed-Loop Communication. Closed-loop communication is a form of communication that revolves around a three-step process. The steps are listed below: Sending a message; Receiving the message; Verifying the message
