Abstract
A routing method performed by node equipment includes: receiving a first frame including a wait number, incrementing the wait number, and storing the incremented wait number as a local wait number; receiving a second frame including a wait number of a destination node equipment, and comparing the wait number in the second frame and the local wait number; transmitting the second frame to an adjacent node equipment having a larger wait number than the local wait number, when the wait number in the second frame is larger than the local wait number; and returning the second frame to a source node equipment of the second frame, when the wait number in the second frame is larger than the local wait number but there is no adjacent node equipment having a larger wait number than the local wait number.
