First Claim
Patent Images
1. In a computer, a method of providing topology-specific data for a given point-to-point network, comprising the steps of:
- pre-computing by a computer and making available topology-specific data for a plurality of point-to-point networks;
calculating by a computer and making available a respective unique topology code for each of the plurality of networks;
calculating by a computer a topology code for the given network;
using the calculated topology code for the given network as a key to look up the pre-computed topology-specific data for networks having the same topology code; and
retrieving the pre-computed topology-specific data for the given network.
