ABSTRACT:
This method applies to the transmission of information during a communication session, on a network having at least one switch, over at least one path between a so-called “source” node and a so-called “destination” node.The network is adapted to transmit data according to at least one connected mode and at least one non-connected mode. The session includes the transmission of at least one packet including on the one hand “user” data and on the other hand additional data defining notably the path on the said network which the said user data will follow.Each time a packet is received, the destination node performs:an operation of reading the said additional data (601), andan operation of determining the transmission mode (602), connected or non-connected, taking into account at least some of the said additional data.
