<p>A method of routing data packets in a network comprises translating a topology of the network into a digital representation of multi-dimensional spatial configuration, simulating the network using the digital representation to adjust the digital representation, converting, for each of a plurality of nodes in the network, an external network address of a node into a digital representation address of the node, and routing data packets in the network using the digital representation addresses of the nodes. An apparatus comprises a network topology translator (610) to produce a digital representation of network topology in the form of multi-dimensional spatial configuration, a simulator module (610) to simulate the network using the digital representation to adjust the digital representation, and a control module (640) coupled to the network topology translator and the simulator module to operate the network using the digital representation.</p> |
