Routingverfahren basierend auf den räumlichen Koordinaten der Netzwerkteilnehmer

The invention relates to a method of routing a message in a network in which processing units have virtual addresses based on a spatial coordinate system. When a message including a target address is received at a processing unit, the target address is compared to the address of the receiving unit. If the addresses match, the message is processed by the receiving unit. If the addresses don't match, the first unit identifies nearest neighboring unit to which the message can be forwarded. The process is repeated until the message reaches the target system.
