ABSTRACT:
A process and a device for determining node address correspondence in a communication network in which each node is allocated a unique address after each network reset, wherein the addresses of a given node before and after a reset may differ. The process comprises the steps, at the level of a node connected to the network, of determining network topologies based on self-identification packets received before and after network reset, and of comparing these topologies for determining correspondence among addresses of a node before and after reset.
