Abstract

See full text

A process for selecting a least weight path between two nodes in a data communication network uses partial trees created and cached in prior route selection operations. All root nodes on possible paths between the two nodes are identified. Any cached tree having a root matching one of the identified root nodes is retrieved from storage. If necessary, each retrieved tree is extended until it includes all possible destination nodes. The extended and/or retrieved trees are used to select the least weight path between the two nodes. The extended tree is then cached for possible use in future route selection operations.
