ABSTRACT:
Ring access control circuitry comprises a receive interface, a host interface coupled to the receive interface, a mate interface coupled to the host interface, a flow control agent coupled to the mate interface, a transmit interface coupled to the flow control agent, and a wrap path coupled from between the flow control agent and the transmit interface to between the receive interface and the host interface. A wrap is initiated over the wrap path in response to a link failure. The ring being controlled could be a resilient packet ring.
