Abstract
A network comprises a plurality of nodes; a plurality of bi-directional point-to-point communication links, wherein a priority-based arbitration scheme is used to communicate over each of the plurality of point-to-point links; and a hub that is communicatively coupled to each of the plurality of nodes via the plurality of point-to-point links; wherein when the hub determines that one or more of the nodes is transmitting a message via the hub, the hub selects which node's message should be forwarded to the other nodes based, at least in part, on the priority-based arbitration scheme and forwards the selected node's message to the other nodes with elevated priority.
