1. A method for the topology-discovery and organization of a plural-node communication network comprising selecting a central coordinator node (CCo) from a collection of nodes initially lacking a CCo, thereafter employing the selected CCo to conduct a procedure for discovering, from the mentioned collection of nodes, all nodes which are optimally capable of being organized into a network, wherein all such discovered capable nodes may effectively be organized to communicate with all other nodes, and with respect to such discovered, capable nodes, creating a network-global connectivity database in the form of a network-organizing communication topology table that describes enablement of bidirectional communication between all nodes.
