METHOD OF DISTRIBUTING PACKETS IN DIGITAL COMMUNICATION NETWORK WITH HETEROGENEOUS TOROIDAL TOPOLOGICAL STRUCTURE Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC H04L12/701 

FIELD: information technology; communication.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to communication and can be used for the construction of packet switched digital communication networks (DCN), in switching systems for constructing switching fields of automatic telephone exchanges, computer networks, microprocessor systems, supercomputers. Method comprises steps of receiving a packet by the current switching node from the communication channel, extracting from the packet header overhead information, verifying in the extracted overhead information that there is a requirement to facilitate transmission of the packet with a minimum delay, calculating the distance from the current node to the destination node and transmitting the packet to subnet L, for which the distance between neighbouring nodes will be the longest among all subnets and will not exceed the calculated distance between the current node and the destination node for each measurement.

EFFECT: technical result is reduced delay in the transmission of packets to the DCN with a heterogeneous toroidal topological structure and higher efficiency of using the bandwidth of communication channels of homogeneous DCN when servicing heterogeneous traffic.
