Method for the reconfiguration of a meshed network

The method relates to the reconfiguration of meshed networks for telecommunications systems with time-division multiplexing, i.e. to a modification of the routing of the signals so that they can be sent with the utmost efficiency despite breaks in the network. In a network comprising nodes distributed in a loop and, possibly, lateral nodes, when breaks cause the loop to be split into sections, the method consists in using standby lines, if any, to connect the lines to one another and to select these standby lines to join the nodes into one network reconfigured by a path without redundancies, i.e. by a path in which the lines are crossed once and only once in each direction.
