For example, they enable end points to communicate with each other without the need of intermediate nodes.
The conversation had lasted long enough to identify the intermediate nodes.
The data burst can cut through intermediate nodes, and data buffers such as fiber delay lines may be used.
The intermediate nodes may choose to cache the document along the way.
We can collect messages on paths that have no intermediate nodes in common.
The intermediate nodes will also produce consistent results so for example node 1 will have the following entries.
No intermediate node (router) has access to the meaning of these messages.
A possible variation is to introduce additional memories for each intermediate node in the discrimination network.
It is the job of the intermediate nodes to handle the messages and route them down the correct link toward their final destination.
The intermediate nodes also utilize the route cache information efficiently to reduce the control overhead.
