CA 2469825

A partially interconnected network has a plurality of nodes, which nodes include either; (a) Allocated Nodes and Star Nodes (STARs), wherein the Allocated Nodes are each allocated to one of a number of Areas (AREAs) and the partially interconnected network also comprises point to point interconnections between the Allocated Nodes and the STARs, where the number of AREAs with Allocated Nodes interconnected to an individual Star forms the number of Routes (ROUTES) from an individual STAR, the Allocated Nodes of a first of the AREAs being interconnected to a set comprising some, but not all, of the STAR Nodes, and wherein further of the AREAs are similarly interconnected to further sets each comprising STAR Nodes and where there is at least one interconnection choice (CHOICE) between any two Allocated Nodes in different AREAs and where an interconnection route comprises two point to point interconnections interconnected in series by a STAR Node; or (b) at least six Topological Nodes, wherein a Topological Node is a single Physical Node or a group of interconnected Physical Nodes or part of a Physical Node or a group of interconnected Physical Nodes and parts of Physical Nodes, each Topological Node having at least three point-to-point Topological Links connecting it to some but not all of the plurality of Topological Nodes and where there is at least one Choice of routing between any two Topological Nodes and where a Choice of routing comprises either two point-to-point Topological Links connected in series at another of the Topological Nodes or a direct point-to-point Topological Link between the two Topological Nodes; wherein at least one of the plurality of nodes includes a switching means arranged to carry out a Simple Transit Core Function and three or more of the plurality of nodes include a Single Link Interface, which Single Link Interface has associated Output Attributes and/or Input Cognisant Attributes where

L'invention concerne un réseau en partie interconnecté comportant une pluralité de noeuds qui comprennent soit : (a) des noeuds alloués et des noeuds étoiles (STAR), les noeuds alloués étant chacun attribué à une zone parmi une pluralité de zones (AREA) ; le réseau en partie interconnecté comporte également des interconnexions point à point entre les noeuds alloués et les STAR ; le nombre d'AREA pourvues de noeuds alloués interconnectés à un STAR individuel constitue le nombre de chemins (ROUTES) partant d'un STAR individuel, les noeuds alloués d'une première AREA étant interconnectés à un ensemble comprenant quelques noeuds STAR mais pas tous ; d'autres AREA sont également interconnectées à d'autres ensembles comportant chacun des noeuds STAR ; au moins un choix d'interconnexions (CHOICE) existe entre deux noeuds alloués quelconques dans différentes AREA ; un chemin d'interconnexion comporte deux interconnexions point à point reliées en série par un noeud STAR; soit (b) au moins six noeuds topologiques, un noeud topologique étant un noeud physique unique ou un groupe de noeuds physiques interconnectés ou une partie d'un noeud physique ou groupe de noeuds physiques interconnectés et des parties de noeuds physiques ; chaque noeud topologique a au moins trois liaisons topologiques point à point qui le connectent à quelques noeuds topologiques mais pas à tous ; au moins un choix de routage existe entre deux noeuds topologiques quelconques, ce choix comprenant soit deux liaisons topologiques point à point connectées en série à un autre noeud topologique, soit une liaison topologique point à point directe entre les deux noeuds topologiques. Au moins un noeud parmi la pluralité de noeuds est doté d'un moyen de commutation conçu pour assumer une fonction centrale de transit unique, et trois noeuds ou plus, parmi la pluralité de noeuds, comportent une interface de liaison unique, laquelle a des attributs de sortie associés et/ou des attributs de connaissance d'entrée associés.
