Multi casting text messages, is associated with terms such as:
- pub/sub (publish and subscribe)
- chat rooms
- star vs ring topology
- switching and routing
- repeater
- 1-M (1 to many)
- M-N or M-M or N-M (many to many)
It is unlikely that any automatic 1-M mechanism, which is not
restricted to work only with known 'friend' nodes, would not be
immediately used to try to create DoS (denial of service) escalation
attacks.
- DoS escalation attacks are however naturally mitigated in IQNets,
since the primary (and preferred/ preferential service at network
layer) mode of operation, is for nodes to connect to 'friend'
nodes
- if a friend node starts "behaving badly" by flooding me, they are
automatically outside of the wheat/chaff negotiated links
established, and thus are no longer friend nodes, but self
evidently compromized nodes
