Method for routing data packets, routing unit, and associated program

摘要

The reference forwarding unit (ISB) forwards data packet to adjacent forwarding unit (ISW), which are received according to directional data contained in a data packet, as determined in the reference forwarding unit. In the reference is determined a forwarding unit according to directional data contained in the data packet in the first forwarding process. The data packet is transmitted to determined forwarding unit only when the determined unit is not the adjacent forwarding unit. Independent claims are included for a forwarding unit and a program for instruction sequence.
