Abstract

A distributed digital data communication network having widely dispursed nodes provides for effective transmission of messages between each node through the use of flood routing. A response message based upon stored data link status obtained when a message is received through the flood routing protocol selects the shortest time delay path for responding to that message. This process eliminates network instability.
