    • Sub-microsecond latency: Writes to local memory instantly broadcast to all nodes via fiber optics .
    • Zero CPU overhead: Dedicated DMA engines handle data transfers autonomously .
  2. Fault Tolerance:
    • Dual-redundant data paths: Auto-switches to backup fiber on signal loss .
    • Built-in diagnostics: LED indicators for network status, error faults, and power-on self-test .
  3. Hardware Optimization:
    • Endian conversion: Seamless interoperability between big/little-endian systems .
    • Programmable interrupt vectors: Supports VMEbus IRQ1–IRQ7 for event-driven synchronization .
  4. Scalability:
    • Hot-swappable nodes: Add/remove modules without network downtime .
    • Ring or star topologies: Flexible deployment for redundancy-critical systems .
