ABSTRACT:
A network processor is used for the routing of objects in non-data networking applications. The processor utilizes the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) algorithm to capitalize on the benefits of data control for object traffic control and costs. A network processor is used at each point in a grid represented by intersecting paths. One or more routing tables are embedded in each network processor. Each routing table describes links with other network processors in the grid to which the network processor is interconnected. A cost factor is associated with each link and is constantly updated by the OSPF as new information becomes available. If a link or route becomes unavailable, the cost is set at infinity. The system then creates an alternative path for the object between a source and the desired destination that bypasses the unavailable link or route.
