Abstract

One approach to achieving scalability in rapidly deployed dynamic networks, such as Future Combat Systems (FCS), is to automatically divide nodes into small ( e.g., 30 node) interconnected IP domains and assigning each a routing protocol that best meets the domain’s characteristics (Morera and McAuley, 2002). Although an attractive idea, it has not been tested.
