Abstract
The invention relates to a method and packet network for transmitting a packet from a source to a destination on the basis of an IP header in a packet network employing an IP protocol. The packet network comprises a first means arranged to drop at least a part of a destination address included in the IP header to a lower protocol layer to serve as a label. In addition, the packet network comprises a second means arranged to transmit the packet to the destination indicated by the label.

A method for transmitting a packet from a source to a destination on the basis of an IP header in a packet network employing an IP protocol, comprising:
- dropping at least a part of the IP header to a lower protocol layer;
- and
- transmitting the packet to the destination on the basis of the dropped part.
A method for transmitting a packet from a source to a destination on the basis of an IP header in a packet network employing an IP protocol, the IP header comprising a destination address from which a host part is dropped to a lower protocol layer, the method comprising:
- forming a label from the host part of the destination address to label the packet;
- and
- transferring the packet to the destination indicated by the label.
A packet network applying an IP protocol for transmitting a packet from a source to a destination on the basis of an IP header, wherein the packet network comprises:
- a first means arranged to drop at least a part of the destination address included in the IP header to a lower protocol layer to serve as a label;
- and
- a second means arranged to transmit the packet to the destination indicated by the label.
A packet network applying an IP protocol for transmitting a packet from a source to a destination on the basis of an IP header, wherein the packet network comprises
- a first means arranged to drop at least a part of the destination address included in the IP header to a lower protocol layer;
- a third means arranged to form a label from the host part of the destination address for labelling the packet;
- and
- a second means arranged to transmit the packet to the destination indicated by the label.
