ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to a system for routing data between rings. A routing symbol is provided, and as it crosses a bridge, the local target address of the bridge is dropped, and the local source address of the bridge node (in the far side ring) is added to the routing symbol. Fields are shifted in the routing symbol so that the value that was in a hop field becomes the local target address in the new ring. Because the routing symbol that arrives at the ultimate target has been transformed into a source node list, the return path is available to the target.
