Determining Device States
STOPPING The object is in transition to the STOPPED state.
No new links are allowed to or from the object.
Existing links are in the process of being deleted.
SUSPENDED The flow of information to and from the object is
restricted. (It is typically prevented.) A subsystem
must clearly distinguish between the type of
information that is allowed to flow in the
SUSPENDED state and that which normally flows
in the STARTED or STOPPED state. In the
SUSPENDED state, the object must complete any
outstanding work defined by the subsystem.
SUSPENDING The object is in transition to the SUSPENDED
state. The subsystem must clearly define the
nature of the restrictions that this state imposes on
its objects.
UNKNOWN The object’s state cannot be determined because
the object is inaccessible.
