Abstract
Systems, methods and apparatus for recovery from network changes. In some embodiments, a first network device may operating in a network comprising a second network device having a designated role according to at least one communication protocol. The first network device may detect a change relating to the second network device and determine whether the change is of a type among one or more selected types of changes. The first network device may further determine whether to inhibit operation of the first network device based at least in part on whether the change is of a type among the one or more selected types of changes.
Claims26
A method for use by at least one first network device operating in a network, the network comprising at least one second network device having a designated role according to at least one communication protocol, the method comprising acts of:
- (a) detecting a change relating to the at least one second network device;
- (b) determining whether the change relating to the at least one second network device is of a type among one or more selected types of changes;
- and
- (c) determining whether to inhibit operation of the at least one first network device based at least in part on a result of the act (b).
