By reducing the number of slaves, the
supported rate per slave can be increased provided that the sum of the
throughput requirements of the slaves is lower than or equal to 100 Mb/s.
FluidMAX is fully automatic and integrated within the mesh architecture. By
continuously monitoring the network topology, FM units are able to auto-

tion protocol is automatically chosen by the FluidMAX protocol based on
the detected network topology.
