In a network consisting of a plurality of nodes interconnected by links, a communication from one terminal to a second terminal is transmitted using a maximal flow algorithm, in which the communication is divided among all the possible paths from the first terminal to the second terminal. Accordingly, greater use is made of lightly loaded links and the demand on heavily loaded links is reduced as the traffic is more evenly distributed across the network, resulting in an overall improvement in network performance.
