METHOD FOR MANAGING PATHS BETWEEN A SOURCE NODE AND A DESTINATION NODE WITHIN THE LINK LAYER, AND CORRESPONDING SOURCE NODE AND TABLE

摘要

The invention relates to a method for managing paths between at least one source node and at least one destination node within the link layer in a mesh communication network including a plurality of intermediate nodes, characterized in that, at a given moment, at least two separate paths between said source node and said destination node are defined for distributing streams to be transmitted between said source node and said destination node, and in that said method includes the following steps that are carried out in said source node: allocating a stream identifier to said streams; associating information representing a stream category to said streams; allocating one of said paths to one of said streams while taking into account said stream identifier and said stream category information.
