Abstract
Systems and methods for controlling data transaction between master and slave devices are described. A master device can be connected to multiple slave devices that can operate under one of a first, a second, and a third operation modes. The first operation mode can cause the master device to perform data transactions with the multiple slave devices via a network element and the multiple slave devices can be connected to one another via the network element. The second operation mode can disconnect the master device from the multiple slave devices, and multiple agents connected to the multiple slave devices can fulfill the data transactions. The third operation mode can cause the master device to perform data transactions with a first subset of the multiple slave devices via the network element, and can cause the master device to be disconnected from a second subset of the multiple slave devices.
