ABSTRACT:
A facility is provided in a data network to prevent a so-called connectionless broadcast message from flooding the network as a result of each network node retransmitting such messages to its neighboring nodes even though a neighboring node may have received them from another neighbor. Specifically, a node x that receives a connectionless broadcast message retransmits the message to a neighboring node y only when node x finds that it is closer to the source of the message than node y is including any other neighbor of node y.
