<p>A method for configuring or reconfiguring a network consisting of nodes and links, wherein nodes connected to links comprising more than one independent sublink are capable of terminating or transmitting said independent sublinks, said method comprising: defining a graph, assigning initial weights to each edge at each node, respectively for transmission and termination, choosing a first pair of nodes, determining a series of said independent sublinks forming an optimum path between said first pair of nodes, updating the weights assigned to the edges forming said optimum path, for each edge of said path in each node along said path, and choosing another pair of nodes that is different from said first pair, in accordance with said first criterion, and repeating said process of determining a path, updating the weights and choosing a further pair of nodes.</p> |
