SNIP_CLASSIC_COMM_SECTION_7_1_Partial_Network_Cluster_Management

7.1 Partial Network Cluster Management The ComM offers users the option to wake and keep awake so-called "partial network cluster" (PNC). A PNC is a (logical) group of ECUs which have to be active at the same time to realize some distributed functionality. If PNC-enabled gateways are used, a PNC can span the whole network (different busses on different topology levels of the network hierarchy). Without the PN functionality, NM messages can only wake and keep awake whole busses.
