Hi Narendran,
I think we need a combination of location and super peer based strategies. We
assign each network a threshold, say "T", number of agents.
We first make swarms on the basis of location. Once a swarm has "T" number of
agents, for that particular location, we start another swarm and so on.
How does that sound?
Best,
Zubair

Live Security Virtual Conference
Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and
threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond. Discussions
will include endpoint security, mobile security and the latest in malware
