摘要: A method and apparatus for dynamically shifting between switching routing packets efficiently to provide high throughput. The present invention provides a transmitting betwee an upstream node downstream in network that utilizes flow classification labelling redirect flows. includes the steps of establishing default virtual channels (1602), receiving at node, performing on packet determine whether belongs specified should be redirected (170), selecting free label (1668) informing future belonging sent with selected attached (1676). Other embodiments include basic unit (1, 3), switch gateway (21), agent use system network.
