FIELD: physics.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to various technologies for computer network segmentation. For this purpose, control plane functions (for example, calculation of network routes) and/or function of redirection plane (for example, routing, redirection, switching) can be segmented and made separately based on domain based on (1) network configuration of a specific domain (for example, endpoints and/or domains of a lower layer in a specific domain); and (2) one or more top-level domains connected to a specific domain in the hierarchy. Thus, a specific domain may control various network operations of the domain without problems with respect to endpoints or network nodes in other domains of the hierarchy.
EFFECT: technical result is reduction of costs for hardware and functional complexity, even when total size of computer networks increases.
