ABSTRACT:
Packet messages transmitted on a packet communications network include origin and destination addresses in the form of stacked address elements which can be pushed or popped off of the stack. A plurality of interconnected packet communications network include routing nodes which utilize the top address element on the destination stack to route the message. Such routing nodes also include stack element editing facilities for popping elements from the stacks, constructing new elements to be pushed onto the stacks, and amending the contents of elements on the stack. This arrangement allows messages to be launched on the networks where the originating station does not have full knowledge of the destination station, and the routing nodes add the necessary destination information as it becomes necessary for routing.
