    摘要: Various example embodiments for supporting loop detection in a communication network are presented. Various example embodiments for supporting loop detection in a communication network may be configured to support loop detection based on use of a recorded route bit string which may be inserted within packets for enabling detection of loops as the packets are communicated over the communication network. Various example embodiments for supporting loop detection in a communication network may be configured to support loop detection for a packet based on inclusion within the packet of a recorded route bit string having bit positions corresponding to nodes of the communication network where the bit positions may be set in a manner indicative of the nodes which have been traversed by the packet.
