A routing algorithm for broadcast packets in packet switching networks, utilizing a "flood-and-forward" technique. In such networks, data are often transmitted in grat quantities from a sensor node to all other nodes in the network, or in a subnetwork, over point-to-point links. Existing broadcast routing...http://www.google.de/patents/US5056085?utm_source=gb-gplus-sharePatent US5056085 - Flood-and-forward routing for broadcast packets in packet switching networks
