System and method for circulating fluid within a well bore. A circulation sub configured with communication elements on its ends to link the sub to a downhole communication network. A slideable piston in the sub isolates or exposes an outer port on the sub to an inner fluid flow along the sub depending on a signal transmitted along the communication network. Methods for activating the circulation sub via signals transmitted along the downhole communication network.

1. A downhole tool for circulating fluid within a well bore comprising: a tubular housing configured with a conductor for passage of a signal between communication elements disposed at the ends thereof;wherein the communication elements are configured to link the housing to a downhole communication network;the housing having an outer port;a piston slidably disposed in the housing and having one or more piston ports;an inner flow bore extending through the housing and the piston including a primary fluid flow path; andan obturating member defining a through tool bypass from the primary fluid flow path around the obturating member and back to the primary fluid flow path;wherein the piston includes a first position isolating the outer port from the primary fluid flow path and a second position exposing the outer port to the primary fluid flow path to provide a bypass flow path between the inner flow bore and a well bore annulus;wherein the piston is moveable between the first and second positions in response to a pressure differential across the obturating member while the signal is passable along the conductor in the tubular housing. 2. The downhole tool of claim 1, further comprising a locking mechanism configured to lock the piston into either the first position or the second position in response to receiving a signal from the downhole communication network. 3. The downhole tool of claim 2, wherein the locking mechanism comprises a piston mechanism disposed on the housing. 4. The downhole tool of claim 2, wherein the locking mechanism comprises at least one pin disposed on the housing to prevent movement of the piston in the housing. 5. The downhole tool of claim 1, wherein the housing is configured to alter fluid flow along the inner flow bore based on a signal passed along the downhole communication network. 6. The downhole tool of claim 1, wherein the communication elements comprise inductive couplers. 7. The downhole tool of claim 1, further comprising at least one transducer disposed on the housing to make a downhole measurement and convey measurement parameter data along the communication network. 8. The downhole tool of claim 1, further comprising at least one transducer disposed on the housing to detect a pressure parameter downhole and convey parameter data along the communication network. 9. The downhole tool of claim 1, wherein the tool is configured so as to divert all or part of the fluid flow to the well bore annulus when the outer port of the housing is exposed. 10. The downhole tool of claim 1, further comprising an indexing mechanism coupled between the housing and the piston to guide the piston between the first and second positions. 11. The downhole tool of claim 10, wherein the indexing mechanism further includes a fixed spline sleeve and a rotatable index ring. 12. The downhole tool of claim 11, wherein the spline sleeve is fixed to the housing. 13. The downhole tool of claim 12, wherein the fixed spline sleeve includes angled tabs and inner splines slidable into alternating long slots and short slots on the rotatable index ring. 14. A system for circulating fluid within a well bore comprising: a tubular string having an inner flow bore;a housing coupled into the tubular string;the housing providing an inner fluid flow bore and configured with a port, the inner flow bore including a primary fluid flow path;the housing configured with a conductor for passage of a signal between communication elements disposed at the ends thereof;wherein the communication elements are configured to link the housing to a downhole communication network; anda piston disposed in the housing, the piston selectively moveable to isolate the port from the inner fluid flow bore in a first position and expose the port to the inner fluid flow bore in a second position;a valve mechanism disposed in the housing and configured to actuate the piston between the first position and the second position in response to receiving a signal from the downhole communication network;wherein an entire fluid flow is directed from the inner fluid flow bore to the exposed port when the piston is in the second position. 15. The system of claim 14, wherein the tubular string is configured so as to divert all or part of the fluid flow to the well bore annulus when the housing port is exposed. 16. The system of claim 14, wherein the housing is configured for movement of the piston in the housing based on the signal passed along the downhole communication network. 17. The system of claim 14, wherein the valve mechanism is disposed at the upstream end of the piston. 18. The system of claim 14, wherein the valve mechanism is disposed at the downstream end of the piston. 19. The system of claim 14, wherein the communication elements comprise inductive couplers. 20. The system of claim 14, further comprising at least one transducer disposed on the housing to make a downhole measurement and convey measurement parameter data along the communication network. 21. The system of claim 14, further comprising at least one transducer disposed on the housing to detect a pressure parameter downhole and convey parameter data along the communication network. 22. A method for circulating fluid within a well bore comprising: disposing a circulation sub having an inner flow bore and an outer port in the well bore, the sub configured with a conductor for passage of a signal between communication elements disposed at the ends thereof;flowing a fluid along a primary fluid flow path extending through a piston disposed within the circulation sub;wherein the communication elements are configured to link the sub to a downhole communication network; andtransmitting the signal along the communication network and through the sub along the conductor; anddeploying an obturating member into the primary fluid flow path to move the piston from a first position isolating the outer port from the primary fluid flow path to a second position exposing the outer port to the primary fluid flow path to provide a bypass flow path between the inner flow bore and a well bore annulus. 23. The method of claim 22, further comprising locking the piston into either the first position or the second position by transmitting a signal from the downhole communication network to a locking mechanism in the circulation sub. 24. The method of claim 23, wherein locking the piston into either the first or second position comprises actuating a piston mechanism. 25. The method of claim 23, wherein locking the piston into either the first or second position comprises actuating at least one shear pins. 26. The method of claim 22, wherein the communication elements comprise inductive couplers. 27. The method of claim 22, further comprising isolating or exposing the outer port on the sub to the fluid flow path based on signal data attained with at least one transducer disposed on the sub. 28. The method of claim 22, further comprising isolating or exposing the outer port on the sub to the inner fluid flow path based on downhole pressure parameter data transmitted along the communication network. 29. The method of claim 22, wherein exposing the outer port of the sub to the primary fluid flow path comprises exposing the port to all or part of the fluid flow.
