The present invention provides a method for the creation and removal of shunts for the prevention of ESDEOS damage to electrical components. The die includes an electrical circuit thereon and is attached to the die pad. In the second dilution stage, dilution water is passed into connection with the stock flow coming from the first dilution stage, said dilution water being controlled by means of valves, which valves have been fitted with a denser spacing than the valves of the first dilution stage. A peer group comprising the plurality of peer devices, and corresponding topology of the peer group, are established in the network device.
