Route Setup with Local Indentifiers
A. Segall, Jeffrey M. Jaffe · IEEE Transactions on Communications · 1986
The paper introduces a reliable distributed procedure for establishing and cancelling routes in a circuit-switched data network that uses local path identifiers (LPID). The procedure ensures that the route is set up properly unless a failure is encountered, data messages are delivered to their destinations unless they encounter a cancellation process and the route is cancelled, and all LPID entries are released after a failure or session completion.
