Abstract
A path control method includes a procedure for developing a path control message including regional information in transmission on the network. The regional information designates a path and/or a path length for transmitting the path control message. The path control message includes a regional property for instructing each node as to how to process the regional information either in a strict manner or in a flexible manner. With reference to the regional information and/or the regional property, each node is capable of selecting a destination node to which the path control message is to be transmitted, stopping the further transmission of the path control message, or discarding the path control message.
