Abstract
A system and method for preventing reconfiguring a binary tree topology network. The network includes a plurality of nodes, a root node and a first set of nodes, operatively networked together to provide a downtree communication path for data. A first node is docked downtree of, and with a parent node, and uptree of, and with a first and second child node. The first node, and the first and second child node, are each one of the first set of nodes, and the plurality of nodes includes each of the first set of nodes and the parent node. A please stand by message is sent from the first node to the first and second child nodes. The first and second child nodes are inhibited from reporting an issue with the performance of the first node for at least a predetermined period after the please stand by message is received.
