Reconfigurable communication network
First Claim
1. Communication network comprising transceivers (1..6) linked in a network topology, and reconfiguration means (7) for obtaining an optimal configuration of the transceivers (1..6) in the network topology by changing positions of the transceivers in the network in dependence on loads carried by end-to-end connections (VC1..VC5) between the transceivers (1..6) and the number of links associated with said end-to-end connections.

Abstract
The application describes a network comprising transceivers (1..6) linked in a network topology. The positions of the transceivers in the network topology are changed in dependence on the loads on the end-to-end connections (VC1..VC5) between the transceivers in the network. A configuration is chosen to give efficient use of the capacity available in the network. Each time that a new end-to-end connection (VC) within the network is set up the positions of the transceivers (1..6) are changed such that the network remains optimized.
