Abstract
A communications system including a cell-based switching system for routing a data stream between a source node and a destination node. A data stream is received at the source node, which performs a first type of address translation to identify a first portion of the path between the source node and destination node. The data stream is sent to the first portion of the path and received by at least one intermediate node that performs a second type of address translation to identify another portion of the path between the source node and destination node. In response to receiving the data stream at the destination node, the first type of address translation is performed to identify a target within the destination node for the data stream.
