Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2008107590A1] According to the invention, in a first node (NES4), through which optical packets (Pa, Pb) can enter the communication network, optical packets (Pa, Pb) from the virtual network are assembled in packet field. The first node generates a burst (B1) including the packet field and a label (LA1) preceding the packet field and containing first information for identifying the virtual network and second information for identifying a path (NES4-NC1-NC2-NES3) between the first node and a second node (NES3) through which the packets (Pa, Pb) can leave the communication network. Each optical packet in the packet field can be preceded by an identifier for identifying an interface through which the packet leaves the communication network and derives a destination address in the packet.
