What Unscheduled Traffic Means
Unscheduled traffic covers diagnostic and acyclic communication that does not live inside the deterministic schedule. It remains part of how ControlNet systems are commissioned and serviced even when the site’s main value is scheduled traffic.
Why It Matters
- It affects diagnostics and maintenance workflows.
- A site may appear partly alive because acyclic messaging works while the scheduled design is still unhealthy.
- Brownfield troubleshooting often needs both scheduled and unscheduled behavior considered together.
