摘要

A method is provided for routing a packet to a third node in a network of nodes connected by links, the network including first and second nodes. The method includes receiving, in the second node, the packet from the first node (51), the packet including a value (path 10) representing a route of nodes connected by links to a destination node. The method also includes modifying, in the second node, the received value to produce a modified value representing another route of nodes connected by links to the destination node (55, 56). The method also includes transmitting the packet including the modified value, from the second node to the third node (57, 58).
