Abstract

A method of routing messages through a network is described in which a message packet is dispatched with two node indicators through the network including a succession of routing switches. When the message packet reaches a routing switch identified by the first node indicator, that routing switch deletes the first node indicator and the second node indicator is then used to route the message packet through the network.
