Essentially you are extending the broadcast domain i.e a bridge within

in the presence of many nodes. Also take a look at some of the work
Radia Perlman (who invented bridging really) is up to these days.
Hi Jamal
I agree with your analysis, and recently I read an interesting interview
with her (I think it was linked from slashdot, an interview with the
"mother of the Internet ;-) I'm not sure her work (I don't exactly
recall the specifics) is applicable to our problem though.
Regarding the scalability, I think it rather depends on the number of
hops how usable FLAME is. I don't think it would scale well to a campus
or city wide network, but in the case of a few mobile nodes, it has very
little overhead both in bandwidth and delay.
Cheers
Simon
