Abstract
An access point (30) for controlling routing in a hybrid network includes a topology table including routes to nodes registered on request with the access point and routes to nodes that have responded to an advertisement message broadcast by this access point (30) only to nodes having a predetermined status and means for selecting a route from all possible routes between a source node (S) and a destination node (D) determined from the above-mentioned response messages. Only nodes that have not contributed to routing a registration request respond to the advertisement message.
