Abstract

A probing device for resolving the limitations of fabric registration by providing a fabric with a system and method for concurrently probing multiple end-devices, which would otherwise be unusable to register with the fabric, to registration information. In addition, by relying upon the probing device, a fabric can avoid requiring any end-devices from having to initiate registration with the fabric.
