  • receiving a request to communicate information from a source node to a destination;

    identifying each neighbor node of an ad hoc network;

    invoking a proactive border node broadcast protocol at the source node when the destination is a neighbor node and wherein the number of hops to the destination is less than a predetermined number of hops;

    invoking an on-demand border node broadcast protocol at the source node when the number of hops from the source node to the destination exceeds the predetermined number; and

    communicating the information from the source node based on the invoked broadcast protocol.
