Abstract
In a communication network, links in a transmission path between source and destination terminals are sequentially switched to an operational state in response to a command or a group of commands for transmitting data prior to completion of assembling the data. Each node in the transmission path independently monitors transmission of data. After transmitting the data, the links are selectively switched to pre-determined power saving states.
