Abstract
Transmitting changes to its routing information by a switch node to other switch nodes that are directly connected to the switch node. No information is transmitted if there has been no change in the routing information. In addition, the switch nodes each transmit their routing information at different times as determined by the identification number of the switch node. The exchange of routing information is controlled by a low level software layer.
