Abstract
In a first node, through which optical packets are able to input to the communication network, optical packets coming from the virtual network are assembled in packet field. The first node constructs a burst comprising the packet field and a label preceding the packet field and including helping to identify the virtual network and second information helping to identify a path between said first node and a second node through which the packets are able to output from the communication network. Each packet in the packet field can be preceded by an identifier identifying an interface through which the packet outputs from the communication network, and derived from a destination address in the packet.
