Abstract
The invention relates to a network of equipment interconnected by switches incorporating routing tables, comprising a routing table manager implementing two modes of operation, an off-line mode of operation in which all the routing tables are calculated initially, then loaded subsequently into the switches, at least when booting up the network, an on-line mode of operation in which, in case of an event rendering an element of the network not usable or operational, only the routing tables impacted by said event are recomputed and loaded into the switches, said routing tables being recomputed by a computer of the routing table manager, said recomputed routing tables being loaded by several loaders of routing tables of the routing table manager into their groups of respective switches.
