Abstract
Disclosed is a method for calculating a route for a transfer of data between a source node and a destination node via at least one intermediate node in a network comprising a plurality of nodes, which, for a current node of said route, comprises a set of nodes adjacent to said current node. The method is suitable for selecting a selection law from a set of selection laws and for choosing an intermediate node according to the current node, by applying the selected law to all or a portion of the nodes of the predetermined set for the current node. Also disclosed is a node-forming device which implements the route calculation method.
Claims10
A method for calculating a route for a transfer of data between a source node and a destination node D in a network comprising a plurality of nodes, the method comprising, for a current node of said route, a step of determining from among the plurality of nodes a set of neighbor nodes of said current node,
- wherein the method further comprises:
- selecting a selection law from among a set of selection laws;
- and
- choosing a node following said current node in said route by applying the selected law to all or some of the nodes of the set determined for said current node.
A device forming a node of a network comprising a plurality of nodes, comprising a component configured to determine a set of neighbor nodes of said node from among the plurality of nodes, wherein the device comprises:
- a component configured to select a selection law from among a set of selection laws;
- a component configured to choose a node following said node in a route by applying the selected law to all or some of the nodes of the set determined for said node.
