MULTI-HOP ROUTING PROTOCOL
First Claim
1. A method for calculating a route for a transfer of data between a source node and a destination node D in a network comprising a plurality of nodes, the method comprising, for a current node of said route, a step of determining from among the plurality of nodes a set of neighbor nodes of said current node,wherein the method further comprises:
- selecting a selection law from among a set of selection laws; and
choosing a node following said current node in said route by applying the selected law to all or some of the nodes of the set determined for said current node.

Abstract
Disclosed is a method for calculating a route for a transfer of data between a source node and a destination node via at least one intermediate node in a network comprising a plurality of nodes, which, for a current node of said route, comprises a set of nodes adjacent to said current node. The method is suitable for selecting a selection law from a set of selection laws and for choosing an intermediate node according to the current node, by applying the selected law to all or a portion of the nodes of the predetermined set for the current node. Also disclosed is a node-forming device which implements the route calculation method.
