ABSTRACT:
A multiple processing system, comprises at least a pair of processor units communicatively connected to a number of peripheral devices through a network that includes routing devices interconnected to route information in the form of message packets sent between the processor units and peripheral devices. Data describing the topographical interconnections of the system elements is maintained with the system. A service processor accesses the data, determines therefrom the topographical interconnections forming the network, assigns addresses/identifications to the system elements, and configures the router devices to establish the most direct routes between system elements for message packets sent on the network.
