Abstract

The method for providing an efficient and adaptive management of message routing in a multi-platform, communication system having dynamically changing platform populations and dynamically changing connectivities between platforms where each of the platforms are capable of performing the steps of recognizing at least certain ones of the platforms in the system, deriving from at least one of the recognized platforms the quality of interconnectivities of the recognized platforms and certain others of the platforms in the system; and employing the derived quality of interconnectivities to make connectivity-based routing decisions using a selective one of a point-to-point routing algorithm, a point-to-multipoint routing algorithm and a broadcast routing algorithm.
