Hot-Potato Routing
The article discusses a digital simulation of hot-potato routing in a broadband distributed communications network. This routing method allows for real-time data transmission while utilizing store-and-forward techniques. The research is part of a broader study aimed at enhancing the resilience of command and control communications networks.
- ▪The hot-potato switching doctrine differs from traditional store-and-forward switching.
- ▪The study is part of the Distributed Adaptive Message Block Network project.
- ▪This research was sponsored by the United States Air Force.
