Abstract
A method and apparatus are provided for configuring a virtual circuit set up between a first and a second terminal installation. The virtual circuit is carried by an underlying path including a first link set up between the first terminal installation and an intermediate installation, and a second link set up between the intermediate installation and the second terminal installation. A third link of the underlying path is set up between the intermediate installation and a third terminal installation. The method includes a step of configuring the third terminal installation, on completion of which the latter is able to process in reception a data stream transmitted through the virtual circuit.
