Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are provided for searching a least-cost path between a source node and a destination node in a communication network. A set of costs associated with least-cost paths from the source node to a set of intermediate nodes is first determined. A least-cost path in a reverse direction from the destination node to an intermediate node is also determined. The intermediate node is selected based at least on a first cost associated with the least-cost path from the destination node to the intermediate node, and a second cost associated with a least-cost path from the source node to the intermediate node that was first determined. Accordingly, the least-cost path between the source node and the destination node might then be calculated by using the second cost as heuristic information.
