In the communication method according to the invention, the user data are passed on iteratively between subscribers (A, B), with the user data communication being the stimulus for second-order communication (explorer communication), by means of which network structure data are determined and/or refreshed. The explorer data are transmitted iteratively on the same or on a different communications infrastructure as the user data, with the data being passed on in unchanged or processed form during transmission. The explorer data contain explicit requests relating to network structure data and can thus actively initiate the process of obtaining network structure data. Suitable communication paths (a, b, c) for passing on user data iteratively are calculated on the basis of the network structure data which are already available locally, in particular on the basis of previous communications processes, or which are obtained by requests. The method according to the invention can be used in telecommunications networks which are structured and/or in which capacity is limited. |
