<p>A method of determining one or more paths through a communications network, which one or more paths are arranged to transmit data between at least one transmitting node and at leat one receiving node, the method comprising the steps of: (i) identifying a first network forwarding node that is in operative association with the transmitting node; (ii) for each port of the first network forwarding node, determining a network address of a second network forwarding node to which the data has passed; repeating step (ii) for each of the second and subsequently so determined network forwarding nodes, until a network forwarding node is determined to be directly connected to the at least one receiving node.</p> |
