ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a method for improving network routing calculations for routing data packets or connections between two points in a network through many incompatible sub-networks. Each node in the network comprises a plurality of agents, written in migrating executable code, which represent each sub-network or domain in the overall network. Hence, an originating node wishing to send data over the network need not concern itself with the topology of the links or communicate directly with other sub-networks. Instead, the originating node can calculate a path through the network locally, simply by querying its agents. Hence, this paradigm is based on an object-oriented design, in which the network controller (NC) at one node does not attempt to interpret topological data of a different node or sub-network. Instead, a network controller at the originating node activates the agents which represent the other sub-networks, and queries the agents (a black-box approach). Only the agent interprets the relevant topological data.
