Abstract (en)
[origin: WO03026228A1] Connectionless Internet protocols make use of the principle of routes. The routes implicitly lay down which path the data packets of a communication relation (flow) will take through the network. When a data packet of a so far unknown flow occurs for the first time, the router selects a route which is used for all subsequent data packets of said flow. These routes usually terminate on the same neighboring node. The aim of the invention is to achieve an adequate quality of service (QoS) also for connectionless communication networks, by evenly distributing the flows to the routes in the network in order to achieve an as even a distribution of traffic as possible, which conventional distribution fan−out structures have so far been incapable of achieving. According to the invention, a selection of useful routes between the router and the target address via which the information is guided to the target is locally determined in the router.
