<p>The system uses acknowledgments of receipt to determine optimum routes. To distribute a message within a network (R-V,X,Y) whose architecture is variable as a function of the modifications of the arteries of this network, an initialization message is sent to a node to which a new artery has been added or one removed. The initialization messages are transmitted by the upstream and downstream nodes in conventional manner. Each downstream node transmits an acknowledgment of reception of the initialization message from the upstream node which sent the message to it. The acknowledgment differs (+,-) according to the position and timing within the network. It is then possible to send messages within the network by the fastest node, and block the transmission of messages via an alternative route which are liable to arrive second.</p> |
