The page http://www.owfs.org/index.php?page=loop-suppression covers it
pretty well.
Basically, you can build a network of owservers, calling other owservers.
To prevent a loop, all owservers add a unique token to the end of the
message they pass on.
When owserver gets a message, it checks to make sure that it's token isn't
already on the message.
No tokens are used in the return messages, so clients don't need to worry
about them.
In theory owtap could be part of a loop, so should add a token for itself.
I'm devided on this issue.
