Efficient label allocation for data-packets routing by means of labels e.g. for data communication, involves communicating information from first router to second router for routing of packets on basis of label

摘要

A method for the allocation of a label for the routing of data packets, in which for the routing, an unambiguous path is determined on the basis of the label, and from the first router (R4) of the path a second router (R3) of the path is determined on the basis of information via the unambiguous path, and from the first router (R4) to the second router (R3) information is communicated for the routing of packets on the basis of the label by the second router (R3).
