ABSTRACT:
Additional nodes beyond those permitted by the size of the address field of a standard network operating protocol, may be added to a directed token LAN, and the added nodes may be automatically and dynamically configured or reconfigured into a token passing loop. The added nodes, referred to as enhanced nodes, interoperably combine a standard reconfiguration sequence of a standard network operational protocol with an enhanced reconfiguration sequence of an enhanced protocol in order to send tokens to establish the next active nodes of the network and thereby establish the token passing loop through all of the standard and enhanced nodes.
