Abstract
A network is organized into a plurality of broadcast domains. Each broadcast domain includes a plurality of nodes each configured to cause messages to be sent to two or more other of the nodes within the broadcast domain. The broadcast domains are coupled via bridging connections. Each bridging connection couples at least one of the nodes from a first of the broadcast domains to at least one of the nodes of a second of the broadcast domains. The messages are caused to be sent through the plurality of broadcast domains via a subset of the bridging connections. The subset of the bridging connections is selected non-deterministically via the plurality of broadcast domains.
