ABSTRACT:
A matrix is created for storing the various verified methods of communication that are available between a plurality of hosts. Each host pair has two or three values stored in the matrix to indicate the known methods of communications between each other. A first value indicates whether unreliable multicast communications are possible, not possible or not yet determined. A second value indicates whether unreliable unicast communications are possible, not possible, or not yet determined. A third optional value may indicate whether reliable unicast communications are possible, not possible, or not yet determined. The mode of communications between each pair of hosts is then selected in the order of unreliable multicast, unreliable unicast, and, finally, reliable unicast.
