Abstract
A method of device initialization in a network is provided. An explicitly routed management cell is received at a device. The management cell includes initialization information, such as an address or a forwarding database. The management cell also includes information specifying an explicit route for the cell to traverse to reach the device. The device is initialized based on the initialization information in the received management cell. One or more subsequent cells are routed through the device using the more efficient destination address routing technique after the device is initialized.
