IEEE 802.4 describes the Token Bus network standard. It uses a token passing mechanism where stations are organized in a logical ring topology on a physical bus network. A token is passed between stations to avoid contention, with the token holder able to transmit frames and poll other stations. When a station wants to join or leave the network, special frames are used to modify the logical ring topology in a distributed manner. The protocol also has fault detection and recovery mechanisms to handle issues like multiple tokens, failed stations, and lost tokens.

Q-Learning and Pontryagin's Minimum PrincipleSean Meyn

https://netfiles.uiuc.edu/meyn/www/spm_files/Q2009/Q09.html
Abstract: Q-learning is a technique used to compute an optimal policy for a controlled Markov chain based on observations of the system controlled using a non-optimal policy. It has proven to be effective for models with finite state and action space. This paper establishes connections between Q-learning and nonlinear control of continuous-time models with general state space and general action space. The main contributions are summarized as follows.
* The starting point is the observation that the "Q-function" appearing in Q-learning algorithms is an extension of the Hamiltonian that appears in the Minimum Principle. Based on this observation we introduce the steepest descent Q-learning (SDQ-learning) algorithm to obtain the optimal approximation of the Hamiltonian within a prescribed finite-dimensional function class.
* A transformation of the optimality equations is performed based on the adjoint of a resolvent operator. This is used to construct a consistent algorithm based on stochastic approximation that requires only causal filtering of the time-series data.
* Several examples are presented to illustrate the application of these techniques, including application to distributed control of multi-agent systems.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Â
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

2. Token Passing Bus Access Method
Physically, it is a Bus network. Logically, it is a Ring network
Stations are organized as a circular doubly-linked list
A distributed polling algorithm is used to avoid bus contention
Token - Right of access
Token Holder (The station receiving the token)
Transmit one or more MAC-frame
Poll other stations
Receive responses
Non-Token Holder
Listen to the channel
Respond to a poll
Send Acknowledgement
9. Token Passing in a Token Bus Network
Once received the token, the station either starts to transmit
or passes the token to the next station within one response
window.
Token must be released if no data / control frame is required
to be transmitted. Token control frame is destinated for the
successor.
10. Token Passing in a Token Bus Network
Token can be held maximum up to th – Token Holding Time.
This value is set at the system initialization time by the
network management process.
Frame priority must be handled within the station itself.
11. Queues for Service Classes
Each station is internally divided into different priority sub
stations. Token holder first passes the token to the highest
priority substation.

14. Adding a Station
Token holder has the responsibility of periodically granting an
opportunity for new stations to enter the logical ring before it
passes the token.
A Solicit-Successor-1 (SS1) control frame is issued with
DA = Successor’s Address
Data = Null
Type = Control Frame SS1
One response window is reserved for those stations desired to
enter the logical ring and their address is between DA and SA.
If the address of the token-holder has the smallest address in the
logical ring, then a Solicit-Successor-2 frame is issued
15. Adding a Station … contd
The station desired to enter the logical ring will respond with
a Set-Successor frame with
DA = Token-holder address
SA = Its address
Data = Address of the Sender ( SA )
The Token holder detects the event in the response window
and takes appropriate actions ….
No Response : Pass token to the next station
One Response : Pass token to the newly added station.
The newly added station will update its Successor value
by the DA field of the previously received Solicit-
Successor-1 frame.
16. Adding a Station … contd
Multiple Responses
A Resolve-Contention frame is issued by the token-holder with
DA = Garbage
SA = TS
A station desired to enter the logical ring will response with a Set-
Successor frame as before at the K th window, where K is determined by
the value of the first two bits of its address. However, if the channel is
detected busy before the Kth window, it will give up.
If no valid Set-Successor frame is received by the token-holder, the token-
holder will issue another Resolve-Contention frame.
Now only those stations involved in the contention may try again. The
value of K now is determined by the next two bits. The above procedure is
repeated until a valid Set-Successor frame is received by the token-
holder. A new station is thus successfully added to the logical ring.

19. Adding a Station … Special Case
Usually, Successor < Node. But there is one station whose
Successor > Node (The one with the smallest address in the
logical ring). In this case Solicit-Successor-2 (SS2) frame is
issued followed by two Response Windows.
The first response window is reserved for stations (X) whose
address is less than this station.
The second response window is reserved for stations (Y) whose
address is greater than its successor.
Stations in Y will respond with the Set-Successor frame only if
there is no response in the first response window.
21. Deleting a Station
The station wishes to be deleted may wait until it receives the
token, then sends a Set-Successor frame to its Predecessor, with
DA = Predecessor Address
SA = This Node
Data = Successor Address
The previous station ( DA ) once receives the Set-Successor
frame will modify its Successor and send a token to its new next
station.
The Successor station once receives the Token frame will modify
its Predecessor accordingly.
After these two modifications, the station is removed from the
logical ring automatically.
If the station fails, it will not receive the token. This will be
detected by the token-sender as explained later.
23. Fault Management
One of the most important issues of the token-bus protocol is to
maintain the logical ring under the following possible conditions
Multiple Tokens
Unaccepted Token
Failed Station
Failed Receiver
No Token
24. Multiple Token
Cause
Noise
Duplicate Address, each one may "receive" a token
Detection
While holding the token, the station may hear a frame on
the bus which indicating that another station also has a
token.
Action
Drop the token
If all stations drop the token, the network becomes the case
of no token (see the procedure of handling no token later)
25. Unaccepted Token or Failed Station
Cause
The token passed to the next station may be garbled
The next station fails
Detection
No response (Channel is idle) in one response window
Action
Try to pass token one more time
It still no response, then the next station is assumed to have
failed
The token holder then issues a Who-Follows frame with
DA = Garbage
SA = This Node
Data = Successor
26. Unaccepted Token or Failed Station
All other stations once received Who-Follows frame will
compare the data with its Predecessor value. If there is a
match, it will issue a Set-Successor frame back. 3 response
windows are reserved after Who-Follows. The first 2 are
needed to make a comparison.
If no response to the Who-Follows frame, the above
procedure will be tried one more time.
If still no response to the Who-Follows frame, then it could
be that the next station to the next station has also failed.
The token-holder will try to establish the ring by issuing a
Solicit-Successor-2 frame, with
DA = This Node

28. Unaccepted Token or Failed Station
DA = SA = This Node implies that every station is invited to
respond. Two response windows are reserved after this frame.
The first response window is reserved for stations whose
address is less than the sender.
The second response window is reserved for stations whose
address is greater than the sender.
The procedure of add a station is then used.
If still no response to the Solicit frame, then either all stations
have failed (Left the ring) or its own receiver has failed (so it
cannot listen).
If the only one station has something to send, it sends the data.
Then repeat the token passing process. Otherwise, listen to the
channel.
30. No Token or Initialization
Cause
The Token-holder station fails
The token is destroyed
Network Initialization
Detection
No channel activity has been heard for a certain amount
of time (Bus-Idle Timer expired)
Action
Any station when its Bus-Idle timer is expired will issue a
Claim-Token frame, with
DA = Garbage
SA = This Node
31. No Token or Initialization
The station with the greatest address will get the
token. This is done by comparing the address. Two
bits of the address are compared at a time.
In each pass, only those stations who transmitted
the longest frame on the previous pass try again.
The station that succeeds on the last pass considers
itself the token holder.
The difference is 2 slots in the frame padding. The
station waits one slot for its or other frame to pass.
It then samples the channel at the second slot.
The logical ring can then be established by issuing
Solicit-Successor frames as described before.
