Abstract: A communication network comprises a plurality of electronic devices coupled via a plurality of communication links. The communication links comprise links over a first physical medium and links over a second physical medium. A method of operating the network comprises issuing, at an originator device, a path request message directed towards a destination device, transmitting the path request message from the originator device to the destination device through a first set of intermediate devices via a forward sequence of links, issuing, at the destination device, a path reply message directed towards the originator device, and transmitting the path reply message from the destination device to the originator device through a second set of intermediate devices via a reverse sequence of links.
