Abstract
A data communication method enables the transfer of data having different protocols without requiring increased bandwidth in the transmission line. The system efficiently re-routes data in the event of network alterations and determines a fast and efficient way to transport data based on the then-existing network structure using link-state and distance vector techniques.
