The AP Bridge handles flow control with the VManager. If the AP Mote can not handle the rate of input from the VManager, the AP Bridge will request that the VManager suspend its input. Similarly, if the VManager can not handle the rate of input from the AP Mote, the AP Bridge will NACK input from the AP Mote.
The AP Bridge can handle short disconnections expects to have a reliable network connection to the VManager. The AP Bridge can recover from short disconnections (less than 30 seconds) from the VManager. While the AP Bridge and VManager are disconnected, the AP Bridge will NACK input from the AP Mote. When disconnected, the AP Bridge periodically tries to reconnect to the VManager and reestablish its existing session. If the AP Bridge cannot re-establish a connection to the VManager, it will disconnect the AP Mote from the network, allowing traffic to route to another AP Mote.
