FIELD: information technology.
SUBSTANCE: in order to route virtual links in a frame-switching network containing a plurality of source terminals and/or destination of the frames, frame switches are connected together through physical connections, each virtual link being defined, for a point-to-point type, by a path through the network between a source terminal and a destination terminal and, for a multipoint type, by a plurality of paths through the network between a source terminal, on one hand, and a plurality of destination terminals on the other. The method enables routing of the links while observing a segregation constraint with regard to triplets of consecutive switches belonging to the oriented loops, so as to allow verification of determinism of the network.
EFFECT: verification of determinism of the a network without changing its topology.
