Abstract
A method for routing a cell through a network using explicit routing or destination routing, or a combination of both routing techniques. A directed route for a cell can include an explicit route portion and a destination address routing portion. An address in the cell can indicate the technique that should be used to route the cell. Explicit routing is used if the address is equal to a predetermined global address or an address of the device and the cell has not reached the end of the explicit route. Otherwise, destination address routing is used based on a final destination address.
