Title

DISTRIBUTION COMPARTMENTS FOR AN EFFICIENT AND FAILSAFE TRAFFIC DISTRIBUTION IN A PACKET-SWITCHED NETWORK

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for establishing a distribution compartment in a packet-switched network. A classification of the network nodes is carried out according to output nodes of the network during which the class of a node is determined according to the minimum number of hops between the network nodes and the output nodes. Based on the classification, distribution compartments for flows can be established as to provide a freedom from loops and to enable a flexible reaction to malfunctions.
