finders.pending table

The pending table accepts device information when the returns table has been locked out by DISCO. The returns table has to be locked during data processing because even though the data collection stage has completed, it does not necessarily mean that all the devices on the network have been discovered.

Network entities that have been sent to the pending table are processed after the current discovery cycle has been completed.
