A connection message (R) originating from a source terminal (U-KE) is sent to a network node (NK) of the communications network (ATM-KN). A network node (NK) which receives the connection message (R) enters its allocated network node address (L3-NK) in the communications network (ATM-KN) and passes the connection message (R) on to at least one adjacent network node (NK). When the connection message (R) is received by the destination terminal (Z-KN), a confirmation message (E) is sent back to the source terminal (U-KE) on the determined route (LW) and the switching information is stored in the network nodes (NK) used for a subsequent message transmission. |
