In a communication network, a logical connections is realized by defined connection paths, with each connection containing at least one connection segment path, whereby a working connection path routed by a “star point” network node and a geographically different substitute connection path routed by another “star point” network node are provided for each connection. In addition, through-switching means are provided in the “star point” network nodes for the switching through of the connections, respectively, by the working connection path and the substitute connection path.
