1. A method for providing an efficient and adaptive management of message routing in a multi-platform, multi-network communications system having dynamically changing platform populations and dynamically changing connectivities between platforms where each of said platforms are capable of performing the steps of:

  • recognizing at least certain ones of said platforms in said system;

    deriving from at least one of said recognized platforms the quality of interconnectivities of said recognized platforms and certain others of said platforms in said system, said quality of interconnectivities transmission media disruptions, recognized transmit and receive power and antenna gain whereby said quality can be determined only after recognition of said platforms; and

    employing said derived quality of interconnectivities to make connectivity-based routing decisions using either a point-to-point routing algorithm, a point-to-multipoint routing algorithm, or a broadcast routing algorithm as appropriate.
