ABSTRACT:
A method and system are provided for reporting a status from a first node in a network to a second node in the network. The first node maintains a first value and a second value, both of which represent some status at the first node. When this status is modified, the first value is updated in accordance with the modified status. Once this has been done, a transmission is sent indicating the updated first value from the first node to the second node. The second node maintains a third value that also represents the status at the first node. Therefore, when the second node receives the transmission from the first node indicating the updated first value, it updates this third value in accordance with the updated first value. It then sends a confirmation back to the first node. Once this confirmation has been received at the first node, the second value is updated in accordance with the updated status. In this way, the third value mirrors the first value, and the second value mirrors the third value.
