Abstract
An aggregation of a plurality of networks. The aggregation includes a plurality of peer nodes of the networks, each node including a plurality of channels operating at a plurality of interior gateway protocol (IGP) routing levels configured to provide a mesh interface between at least two of the networks. This aggregation makes it possible to configure extremely large aggregated networks. It also supports inter-autonomous system (AS) mobility and movement needs of mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) networks.
