    I seem to recall this topic, or something similar, on this forum before.  You should do some searching.

    That said, in order for any device on the network to determine that the network has been reduced by a node, some form of communication needs to occur.  There is nothing implicitly built into SimpliciTi to handle this.  However, I can envision 2 possible ways of facilitating this in your application code.

    1) Have the ED about to be removed, announce its upcoming removal with a user defined message to the network via some broadcast message.  Each of the other nodes would then need to take some action such as unlinking that particular announcing node from the associated linkID stuff.

    2) Use the ping packet every now and again to determine the network status of each node.  This takes up network bandwidth though.
