Method for optimal path selection in traversal of packets through network address translators

摘要: Reduction of administrative overhead in maintaining network information, rapid convergence on an optimal routing path through the data network, and utilization only required resources are realized by a novel method for establishing call between users. The is based upon deployment information server that stores topology addressable each end user. In this method, receives request to establish path. identifies at least calling party. response request, determines traversal party root wherein includes about sub-networks network. can also identify called Based identification, second sent either or both parties. determine intersection traversals send known as merge point represents
