Abstract
A system for switching data between the terminals of a communication network includes a memory and management device storing a model of the network and performing management of this model, the model being constituted by a set of objects which are representative of the elements of the network at a given moment and which have properties defining the characteristics of these elements at that moment, a device manipulating the objects adapted to create new objects, modify existing objects, or delete existing objects from the model, and an interface between the memory and management device and the hardware elements of the network.
