Non-minimum cost forwarding for packet-switched networks

In some examples, a network node receives a packet from an adjacent node in a packet-switched network. The receiving node can forward the packet to a destination node via a minimum cost forwarding node adjacent to the network node or to a non-minimum cost forwarding node adjacent to the network node...

Zusammenfassung:In some examples, a network node receives a packet from an adjacent node in a packet-switched network. The receiving node can forward the packet to a destination node via a minimum cost forwarding node adjacent to the network node or to a non-minimum cost forwarding node adjacent to the network node based on routing criteria for the packet-switched network. The routing criteria can include whether the adjacent node that sent the packet to the receiving node is a non-minimum cost node between a source node and the destination node for the packet.
