[0052]As discussed above, the addition of extra stages introduces additional redundancies. The concern addressed by the first phase in the upgrade process in the '263 application and the '874 application is that during the upgrade process the topology of the network is no longer a well formed topology for which connectivity properties are known. It is feared that an ad hoc approach to a stage upgrade, can introduce a temporary topology during the upgrade process where full connectivity (i.e., the property in which any two external ports can communicate with each other) is lost. Because of the additional redundancy, especially path redundancy, introduced during the stage upgrade process the possibility of losing full connectivity can be avoided by careful choice of upgrade steps, without the need to use a two phase process such as that described in the '263 application and the '874 application.
