ABSTRACT:
A controller for a communication system having a plurality of networks and a plurality of stations communicating with each other by sending messages from a source station to a destination station is disclosed. A plurality of stations may be assigned to a group. A communication history for the stations is determined, where the history corresponds to the messages communicated. The stations are connected into a common network in accordance with the communication history. The communication history corrresponds to a series of packets and is based on a source address and a destination address of each of the packets. A station may have a matrix, the matrix having rows indexed by source system address and columns indexed by destination system address, for storing a value indicating a quantity of information transferred from each station to each other station.
