This specification is supported by many SW and HW NW switches. This allows you to create a NW configuration managed by the L7 OSI application layer with NW packet routing and transparent transformation for the sender/receiver pair. We use this technology for building of SDN-enabled Blockchain modelling NW environments (for ex. NWs with Quantum Cryptography) for R&D projects of our students: http://balchemylab.gitlab.io/ ??, 20 ???. 2018 ?. ? 22:07, Andy Schroder : > > Who do you think controls the routing table for the internet?

Since routing tables are not part of the architecture how can the sender chose the next recipient so as to effect an efficient path to the ultimate receiver? With no routing table available the next receiver's connection to the remote ultimate receiver or to the ultimate receiver?s proximate connections is unknown. Even a powerful bridge node will not know an efficient subsequent path and could send the message on in exactly the most inefficient direction. How does choosing an efficient next intermediate receiver not remain a guess, a shot in the dark? >> I don?t think any solution to the mesh network routing problem has been found.
