Abstract
Decoupling of a first machine from a plurality of machines in a network is disclosed. Each machine has a machine identifier. The plurality of machines are organized into a linearly ordered sequence in accordance with a predefined order of the machine identifiers. The first machine is configured to receive a query from a preceding machine and propagate the query to a succeeding machine in the linearly ordered sequence. Prior to decoupling from the network, the first machine informs respective presence of a first subset of machines to a second subset of machines that are not overlapping with the first subset of machines. The first subset of machines includes a machine having a lower machine identifier relative to the machine identifier of the first machine, and the second subset of machines includes a machine having a higher machine identifier relative to the machine identifier of the first machine.
