Abstract
A conversion technique efficiently discovers an optimal path from a source station to a destination station over a computer network. The technique involves converting an explorer frame to a specifically-routed frame at a bridge interconnecting the source's local subnetwork to other subnetworks of the computer network. Such conversion is made possible by providing routing information, comprising at least global topological information, to the bridge. Armed with the routing information, the bridge computes the optimal path and forwards the converted frame to the destination over that path.
