ABSTRACT:
An inter-terminal telecommunications network for the transmission of data by packets includes a transport layer formed by switching micronodes connected to one another by lines. The transport layer is adapted to enable the communication and conveyance of packets or cells of data elements, on the one hand among units of equipment of the network and, on the other hand, between the network and other units of equipment external to the network. Each micronode is controlled by means of instructions contained in each cell header that is presented to it on a line of the network to enable the routing of the cell on another line of the network and the transmission of the number and of the states of the neighboring micronodes towards a unit of a centralized management layer so as to keep the management layer constantly informed about the configuration of the network.
