Abstract
A method and mechanism for dynamically changing the logical path of a state machine to avoid conflicts or problems is provided. A toggle state is employed for a state machine that allows dynamic changes in the computation path of a state machine. By analyzing the expected response state of a remote state machine, toggle states can be inserted in the path of a local state machine to avoid conflicts. This approach can be advantageously employed to reduce or prevent half-duplex violations for communications between applications on multiple computing nodes.
