Abstract
The present invention concerns a process and a circuit enabling determination of the last intermediate node of a pathway comprising a minimum number of nodes from the m-th node to the n-th node in a network comprising p nodes interconnected by a number of links (p being a positive whole number). The process includes steps of iterative matrix calculation and comparison of elements of the same rank of certain matrices, and is especially suitable for communications networks constituted by a number of geographically separated nodes connected to one another by communications lines.
