Реферат: According to one example embodiment, a network node initiates a desired configuration of a switching network by sending a link state message containing a configuration descriptor specifying the desired configuration and a predetermined type value. The configuration descriptor may describe an explicit path for routing data traffic through the switching network. The explicit path may comprise strict hops or a combination of strict hops and loose hops. The configuration message is propagated through the network by flooding. Each network node receiving the configuration message is instructed to take appropriate action to implement the specified configuration and send a result report indicating a result of the configuration action. The result report may be included in a link state message and propagated by flooding so that all network nodes are able to determine whether the configuration was successfully completed based upon the result reports send from the network nodes.
