Area in which a failure has
occurred in a Token Ring, defined by the information contained in a beacon.
When a station detects a serious problem with the network (such as a cable
break), it sends a beacon frame that includes the station reporting the
failure, its NAUN, and everything in between. Beaconing in turn initiates a
process called autoreconfiguration. See also autoreconfiguration,
beacon, and NAUN.
