Organizing The Tree
The network nodes form a hierarchy by having each node select a parent. The parent is a neighbor node that is the next best step to the most other nodes. This method creates a hierarchy around nodes that are more likely to be present, and which have more capacity, and which are closer to the topological center of the network. The memory limitations of a small node are reflected in its small routing table, which automatically prevents it from being a preferred central node.
At the top, one or two nodes are unable to find nodes better-connected than themselves, and therefore become parents of the entire network.
The hierarchy-formation algorithm does not need a complex routing algorithm or large amounts of communication.
