wrapping

wrapping: 1. In a network using dual counter-rotating ring architecture, reconfiguration to circumvent a failed link or node. 2. In open systems architecture, the use of a network to connect two other networks, thus providing an increased interaction capability between the two connected networks. Note: Recurring application of wrapping usually results in a hierarchical structure. [From Weik '89]
