This virtual model is used to control the route that traffic will take through the real network. As topology changes happen in the network then the virtual nodes of the model become embodied by different real nodes and communicate their virtual identity to connected nodes. Routing of the traffic is performed with reference to the virtual network so that routing follows the current embodiment of the virtual …

Why it's free to use
- Filed April 17, 1998. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended April 17, 2018.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by April 17, 2020.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
