English

Subject field(s)
  • Data Transmission
  • Internet and Telematics
  • Telecommunications Facilities
DEF

A simple routing algorithm, in which every incoming packet is sent out on every outgoing line except the one it arrived on.

OBS

Flooding generates a vast number of duplicate packets. It is not practical, but used in military applications, where large numbers of IMPs [interface message processors] may be blown to bits and the robustness of flooding is desirable. Flooding is also used in distributed data base applications, when it is necessary to update all data bases concurrently.

The Bragg Crystal Spectrometer(BCS) is designed to study plasma heating and dynamics during the impulsive phase of solar flares. It consists of two bent crystal spectrometers, BCS-A and BCS-B, that observe the H-like line complex of Fe XXVI, and He-like complexes of Fe XXV, Ca XIX and S XV. Each spectrometer consists of a double detector placed behind a pair of germanium crystals that diffract the incoming X-rays into the detectors. The two structures are mounted at the front of the Yohkoh spacecraft, on either side of the central panel, with a thermal filter mounted in front of each spectrometer. The crystal dispersion axes are oriented north-south.
