Idle State

-- Notes Page --


The value of current_state is defined to be the current state of the bus. The current_state value of the bus is used by the BRF to determine what token to return from the vector of token drivers for the bus.

If the state of the bus is idle, the BRF checks the vector of token drivers for a token with a state other than idle. If a non-idle token is found, that token is returned by the BRF.
